I would buy this car in a heartbeat, there's a great deal on a used one for 26k euros lhd right now. I like sporty suv's and since this is a cuv it's the perfect profile for me, not too high, not too low. The only problem is that I've only owned manual or torque converter cars, very reliable gearboxes. My current Jaguar F-Pace S 380hp has a ZF8 torque converter. The only time I've driven a DSG was a Skoda Rapid and while the sensation was of fastness and the front wheels were spinning, I like the feeling of changing gears and I'm afraid of their reliabilty, as all the forums are filled with issues. Actually there's not one brand forum that uses dual clutch gearboxes that doesn't have complaints about this type of gearbox. And what about oil consumption, how is it on this engine?
It’s 60k!! You could pick up a vz version with alcantara seats electronically adjustable seat and pan roofs for around 15k less in which you could get abt to put the same kit on
looks like a nice car, not too sure about the front but the back looks good. It be interesting to see what the standard car sounds like without the exhaust but looks brilliant. Keep up the great work TGE
Who needs a Purosangue eh Tom? (Joke!) Seriously though, what a cracking motor with stealth performance, loads of real nice touches with the details on there. Cheers for the unexpected review, get well soon mate!
I’ll take a Golf R Performance over it any day, my understanding from one or 2 people who have had them said they are not very reliable. They do look nice though.
Just a hint, no bad thoughts. You can‘t know it, but Abt actually is a german family name. They own, besides their tuning business for the Volkswagen Group, racing teams in cooperation with Audi, in the german DTM series, one son (Daniel Abt) was a race driver until 2020 and also has a youtube channel. So as a german speaker, it sounds really funny when you spell the name „A - Be - Te“. 😉
It should be compared to the troc r instead of the golf r. The amount of formentors i see on the road now since i got my vz2 is funny, but out of all of them ive not seen a vz model yet, they all seem to be the 1.5 and hybrids
This is MEGA! I saw a ABT Skoda the other week and it just looked so good. Just suttle but yet striking. I love cupra they are mega, just sooo good. I think this car would be a perfect daily!
Thank you Tom Brilliant as usual Followed you from the start Lovely glasses Can you please tell me what they are model and lens make like the blue / Violet ting Tim

Such a shame they didn't bring more than 10 of the 5 cylinder VZ5's to the UK. Proper car.
I thought they weren't bringing any of the ZV5 over to the UK?
@@Lewis_Treff97 I recall looking it up a year or so ago and seeing there were 10 units
12:06 Great vehicle of choice indeed!

Ive always been a fan of cupra and in particular the formentor in standard form so the ABT one is just cool because why not have the ultimate version.
SUV and hatchback is same? What you compare is like you say Germany can beat Russian or Ukraine can beat Russian is same category?
This will make a great daily, shame we can't get the 2.5L in the UK.
I think formentors are overlooked nice cars look great. Could do with some minor adjustments .

Got one pretty good even without the ABT kit. Might need to invest in it ❤

My Porsche has Audi stamped parts on it even

😂 I did know that but still say A B T 😩🙃
Love my VZ3, but I just need those seats from the abt version 🔥
What did I cost and how long did it take
Silly glasses, heavily sponsored churn video as per. 5 minutes walk around and the rest interior waffling... standard TGE vid 🙄
Bought me 4 houses. Enjoy
If you can you should try the VZ5 👌
Tge covering every range of car these days 🫡👏🏻 what a lad
Churn 🫡
Nice looking SUV. Great sounding too. Pity it's a limited edition. That will probably mean it's pricy too!
£60K+🤫
I want those seats for my Leon Cupra 😍

Needs elec on those seats
Absolutely BONKERS😊
Bloody hell mate looks like you have ate a Greggs sausage roll in there 😂
😂😂😂
Cupra means spicy? The base model 1.5 liter 110kw Formentor V may disagree
Idc honestly

They’re just unbranded cheap blue light blockers! I am on screens a lot so wear them as much as I can. Think they were from eBay or Amazon super cheap
It’s ridiculous!!!
Just gonna go make a website even though I don’t need one. Keep doing your thing, but maybe feet up with a whiskey n honey first 😷
🫡 perfect! Thank you!
