I hired a formentor when i went to france and i fell in love with it it's the best car i've ever driven, Unfortunately i can't afford a top spec one yet but as soon as i can i will be getting the VZN :D Enjoy the car i'm jealous 🙃
Yes I have to say it is one of the best cars I've driven as well, a really great car! Definitely get one when you can afford it 💪 thanks for watching 👍
So, I got my Formentor VZ already 3 years ago. It will go out of lease in 8 weeks. I ordered a new one since I got a great loyality deal by Cupra. My spec looks almost identical to yours from the outside. Same color, same rims. I didn't order the pan. roof and the Brembo. But I went for the Pilot Sport 4 option, the Akrapovic Exhaust System and the Carbon Bucket Seats this time. I also checked all the other boxes, like Wireless Android Auto, Beats Audio, Electric Tailgate, 360° Camera, Dark Aluminium Pedals and I also went for the full Carbon Copper Side View Mirror Caps. Never seen them on any Cupra before, so I'm quite excited how they look like. The car has a real good build quality and offers A LOT for the money. Its almost a jack of all trades. Enjoy!
Always good to hear you wanted one again! Sounds really good, I would love the akrapovic exhaust that would give it a nice sound. I bet the carbon bucket seats look the part, very nice and no I've never seen the mirrors In that style either be something different. Thanks, definitely enjoying it so far and enjoy the new one you get when it's ready 💪 thanks for watching 👍
Just ordered one. Eta is month away. Can´t wait to launch it. Got a good deal of overload edition, so it has all the bells and whistles you can get. I had 3 vw:s before so no big jump for me, but it is nice to have some power at last after diesels. Nice to see you like yours so i think i made a right choice.
OMG jas you will absolutely love this as ive not actually had one of these cars before but i have a 2022 Leon Cupra 300 & that's a weapon too!! So im sure you will be we'll happy with it nice one Jas!!👌🏻👍🏻😃
Nice choice, i’ve got the VZ2 310ps, my only options were the panaramic sunroof and the top view camera, just be aware i had a few problems with my sunroof and had to have the cassette replaced, other than that it is great
As a current owner of the base model v2 I don't get to have the thrills of 310ps however I'm contemplating px for the Born next gen, but as far as the formentor goes I like mine but I don't love it unfortunately, just the infotainment system takes around 20 seconds to get all booted up which is annoying when you wanna get going, however the only thing I do love is the look and the drive is top quality 😊
Thanks for watching! Ok so you want to go fully electric? I'm not convinced still and that's why I've gone for a 310ps petrol haha. Shame you don't love it, I've had the car nearly 2 months now and love everything so far about it. I've not had one issue with the infotainment system, it's been really fast and responsive for me. I guess sometimes it's luck of the draw 👍
I wouldn’t say it’s a step up from a 1 series the build quality and materials are better in a 1 series. The cupra you have a lot of cost cutting like no strut for the bonnet. Exposed exterior paint on the inside B pillar. Cheap plastic mid to lower., no backlight heating slider. Only drivers seat is electric. Passenger side is manual. It’s a MQB car so based off a Golf. Although it’s a lot of car for the money and the EA888 engine is good.
So far I'm finding it better then my 1 series as a whole package. But I know there are some parts they have cut cost on but other parts of the car is a step up on the 1 series. Thanks for watching 👍
@@VirginAtlanticflyer I had the 330i before and that also was my same problem. This is much bigger inside and easier with the child seats. Both my kids 2 & 6 have much more room inside and as the driver I can have my seat quite far back to be comfortable with my 6 year old behind with a good amount of room who is tall for her age 👍
@@jaysen704 I don't know enough about the new shape to recommend it. I'm sure it is good but do some research to make sure it's the right car for you 👍
It's a weird question probably, but how it compares to the M135i? Mainly considering driving experience and performance (I don't really need the additional space it probably offers)
Thanks for watching! Not a weird question at all mate. So overall I feel this car is better than the BMW M135i, it feels like you're driving a hatchback, just with the extra space. Performance wise the Cupra feels a little faster but there is not alot in it tbh, but it launches alot better. Overall I'm really happy with it and didn't expect it to this much better than the m135i if I'm honest. I will be doing a video on this car again once I've had it a bit longer to do a full review video. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@the_jnlt_channel One question more though - I know You disliked the gearbox in the M135i (or rather just didn't like it as much as You would like to). How is the Cupra's gearbox? I've heard DSG can be quite sleepy too.
Sorry I missed this reply. So I find the gearbox in the Cupra slightly better, changing up and down feels more responsive but sometimes from 2nd to 1st or other way around it's a little clunky in sports. That's what I've noticed so far 👍
It's called a first impressions video for that reason 🤦🏻 I've only just picked it up and will do a full review video at a later date! Thank you for your comment, it really helps me 🤷🏻♂️😁

Congrats on the new car mate! Thinking to buy a Cupra too
Thanks, I appreciate it. Definitely a great car 🙌
I love the Brembos matching the wheels. Nice Car! Need to see the car in action. 😀
Yeah that's one of the reasons that I went for that style. Yes definitely will be showing off the car more soon 👍
It's a real head turner mate. Beautiful car, enjoy 👌
