Great review, bought the car 3 months ago, I'm getting it next month (I hope!). Can't wait to have it in my hands and drive it! And your analysis is perfect: I'm a commuter, I do around 10 miles per day in my trip to work and back home and then I use the car to go out in the evening, sometimes going in Milan (where I can enter the city center since it's an hybrid and I don't pay for parking either) and short trips on the weekend, where I can enjoy the performance. And I have a garage, so I can charge it every evening when I come home. I think this is the car designed for a 36 years old guy like me.
When they went buttonless. The critics grilled them quite harshly for it. So they kept the best of what was good about it and added buttons. Meanwhile others decided to do what Peugeot decided to correct on. I feel like it’s other brands following Peugeot. Watch next iteration of vag cars. Buttons included like Peugeot’s new generation
I'm about to receive mine in a few weeks, I've ordered the estate. So to make sure I get the best mpg, make sure it's charged before any trip? Also did you change your electricity supplier?
@@mkzwrld7641 yeah I took delivery of mine last week Thursday. Did a few runs and was getting 300mpg while in Hybrid mode. Actually really pleased with the car. Ended up getting the cupra leon estate vz2
@@kamz87 I got the hatchback vz2. Alwsys do all my local drives in e mode. Only on weekends (Sundays do I travel, so that's the only time I'm in hybrid mode)
@@timharris559 but cupra badge would be on the formentor no matter what because they are now independent of seat. It’s no longer a “high end engine” spec car now.
Thanks. I live in an apartment block, so can't get a wall charger fitted, however their is sockets in the block garage. Does it comes with a conventional cable ?
If it doesn’t, you can buy one for £250 ish. However, it’s not an ideal long term solution. Might be worth talking to the building owner and asking about getting a 7KW charger installed.
Manufacturers advise against regular 3-pin charging - only using it as an odd occasion. Puts a lot of strain on the electrics in the building and is significantly slower than you’d hope for.
Seems exactly the same as the seat leon 1.4 phev. A bit more sporty looking, interior seats are better but other than that it's the same.?? They should have made it a 2.0L phev.
