    Was lucky to pick up the first allocation back in Aug this year. A great all round performer. 👌👌

    It would be awesome if you guys could tee up a comparison between the Cupra Formentor VZx, Tiguan R, T-Roc R and the Kona N. There is a big price gap between the Kona N and the rest, but it would be cool to see what sort of “fruit”, interior quality and performance the premium bags you.
    The Formentor looks like it’s striking the balance, but at the moment we are spoilt for choice if you also include the Cupra Ateca VZx.

    What about the Formentor V entry level? The cost is similar to Skoda Karoq Sport, however Skoda Karoq has 2.L 140KW, for such a money you can buy Skoda Octavia WRS or even Skoda Kodiaq.

    So weird we don't get the traffic sign recognition on the Cupra SUV models in Australia when the tech is there and works in EU and UK (therefore right hand drive). Surely it's just a software update that Cupra can bring to us?

    I have this car in the VZ2 310 bhp version, yes it is very good but there's that infotainment system that's full of bugs and does some weird stuff like not letting you enter the car, or it can make random phone calls to even slamming the brakes on for no apparent reason whatsoever are just a few examples and the dealers can't fix the faults.
    VW know about this problem as it's a similar problem across their range of cars fitted with this infotainment system but the Formentor has many electrical niggles that need sorting, what are VW doing about it? Very little

    There are a much better cars and brands deserving of the title.
    Although it is a truly beautiful car and at the very affordable price but after sales customer care is questionable, parts availability still remains a big question mark, and much more.
    I was keen to buy VZx Formentor but considering that Cupra managed to secure 7 partner service centres from Melbourne to Brisbane is just not enough proof that the after sale service will be great. I am super surprised that VW or Audi are not in the partnership with Cupra as a service partner. That was a deal breaker for me.
    Far off the title.

      Said nobody ever, mate it looks nothing like a Golf. Granted it shares the MQB evo chassis with the Golf R and Audi S3, hence the 14 stage suspension and it also shares the S3s EA888 228kw tune. But looks wise it has nothing in common….other than 4 wheels.

      @Dardalus what?, I said it shares the MQB evo with the Golf and A3/S3. But it still looks nothing like a Mk8 Golf, confirm you’ve seen a MK8 Golf?
      Also the Polo doesn’t use the MQB evo it uses the original MQB.
