      Not to mention loads of different supercars to test drive short term like press trips and sometimes like you say loads of long term loaners. Very cool patnership. Said spec your long term loaner. So obviously ALL THE OPTIONS with the best paint, best wheels All the technology. Epic

    Trouble is the EV platform is VW and despite the stated charging speed figures, it doesn’t deliver those! When you complain they say it’s only a range (albeit it never gets in to the range!). My experience was DC charging 20-80% is more like 50-55 minutes not 35. AC charging about 80% of the time was only half charging due to some battery safe mode that apparently randomly cuts the charge so on a cheap overnight 6hr charge I was getting 20kw not 40! Big difference. I had mine for 4 months, it then spent 6 weeks in garage and I got a BM i4 instead which is brilliant and does exactly what it says

      I am sure you would have appreciated Paul’s thoughts more than my own but I recently received my 310 VZ2 which replaced my Mk7 Golf R. I’m enjoying it and very pleased with it so far…asides from some electronic gremlins which, unfortunately, is an issue for many Formentor owners. That asides though, a very pleasant ownership experience to date.

      @@mr1zzle Congratulations on your VZ! Yeah, I saw some videos people complaining about those electrical issues. That’s very unfortunate. What does Cupra say about it if you have already reported it? Also, if you have a OBD2 scanner, does anything show up?

      @@VaneNaumovski Thank you. Cupra have recently released (another) software update and, reportedly, this has resolved a few issues. It’s a little frustrating but hasn’t tarnished my ownership experience to date. If your infotainment system crashes (which then has the knock on effect of disabling many of the driver aids, parking camera but, most annoyingly also your ability to alter the air temps etc) then hold down the power butting on the infotainment system for 15 secs and it’ll reboot. Shouldn’t really have to do it but it’s the best quick fix if you encounter similar issues to many of us. I have an OBD reader but it doesn’t really pull up anything helpful in terms of error codes. Out of interest, which engine and trim did you order?
