2021 Cupra Formentor review - the surprise hit of 2020?

[@faisalleeds]

Always thought this was a great looking car when they launched the concept. Doesn't seem quite as aggressive, but still way better looking than the VW sister cars.

[@swanblake]

I personally wouldn't but a new VAG product that has that user interface/no buttons. I don't want to crash trying to touch and miss the screen while moving. A step backwards in ergonomics. The cocktail wiener shifter needs to go

[@odonsaller5238]

Nice car, but I really hope that the Tavascan is coming as well. :)

[@andrewd7586]

Make it masculine with the pronunciation... “Four...men...Tor(Thor!)!” Speech impediment, justh thayin!🤣 Great lighthearted review! Cheers from Oz🇦🇺👍🏼😎🤣

[@aalex0419]

as a spanish speaking person living in spain you pronounce it Formentor (4 men tour)

Thanks Lee, cheers for watching!

Had my VZ1 245 Hybrid a few weeks now. The launch control with instant torque makes it on par with the 310. Probably better.

[@aldeacristian4582]

The Atteca isn't on the same platform, Formentor is on the MQB Evo and the Atteca is on the older MQB A1. So you should direct some of the cinisism towards yourself.

[@DontPanicDear]

Hi Guys 👋🏻 I always do irony, as I hate shirts being creasy 🤨 I think a previous version of a Leon Cupra, was the first to augment cabin sound with footwell speakers 🤨

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Can’t believe someone made it that far through tbh

[@AZRS8733]

when i hearing your hello bro in my headphones on max vol. almost fell off the chare:D

[@johnfranklin6394]

Hi Tim. Really enjoyed the review, and I am seriously considering getting this car. As for pronunciation of Formentor, I am a Spanish speaker with Balearic heritage (Mallorcan). It's pronounced "Four Men Tour." Cheers!

[@noelkavanagh3507]

Great video you look about 7ft 5inch in height or else the formentor is smaller than I thought some optical illusion me thinks.

[@smilepermile8165]

Love the 'west country' accent 🤣I was also very pleasantly surprised to hear that 5 cylinder engine note from the Cupra Formentor test mule at the 'ring too. It would be great if they could fit that in the more conventional hatchback of the 'Leon' as well - although that would probably be impossible with the hierarchy of the Golf R...

[@IchLiebeMich-]

super Video!! Is this midnight black?

[@leeandjancruise]

Bought the VZ2 yesterday, YAHOO!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Enjoy it! I'm tempted to get one as my next company car (but it'd be the 1.5 petrol)

[@HH-wd2cn]

Blue leather really !! Nice look thou exterior that is

[@paulcolmer9046]

5 cylinder not for UK

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

I know - I've only just dried my tears 😟

[@karantantoine1031]

What is your high i want to see you vs with the car

[@maebeeee]

You are NOT fat!!! Try coming to 🇺🇸 USA you’d look cachectic 🤗 Meany bunny 🐰 🐰

[@madjh8]

Formentor is a village, so has they own pronuntiation. Cupra needs the bigger engines of VW group. It would be epic to see a Formentor with 500Hp under 50.000 pounds, the american have the muscle cars and europeans have this fast cars and good amount of power for the money.

[@kokekan75]

Do you think it would depreciate faster than a VW though? Great review btw!

[@sandersson2813]

Who cares about depreciation?

[@joshuaelliot2020]

@@sandersson2813 Sensible people.

[@sandersson2813]

@@joshuaelliot2020 Why? No one buys a car as an investment. Its a tool. Do you care about the depreciation on a fridge, laptop, TV, sofa etc? No. Hardly any car except for rare classics or premium and rare supercars hold value so who cares about the depreciation on something like a a cupra , when all of the competitors to that car depreciate at almost the exact same rate. We have known for decades how much cars depreciate. Why start caring now? If you care about depreciation then shop around and get the best deal possible and get one that is 6 months old that has already taken the initial drop in value.

[@EverythingCarsandMoreECAM]

I do really like the car but don’t like the blue. Great review once again

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thanks man!

[@deathforall]

VERY EXPESILVE MY FRIEND.VERY GOOD CAR BUT A LOT OF MONEY 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫

[@pigeonpoo1823]

A new game for you, Fake or Fun. A blind test. Play us a sound of engine noise from in the cabin and a clip from Forza of the same car and let us guess who does fakery better, video games or real world. Thank me when you're a millionaire!

[@alechopkins6545]

Good to see an actual spare wheel, but would prefer physical buttons over everything on a touch screen

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Yup, I was surprised to see a spare wheel! I genuinely haven't seen one in a car for years

[@alechopkins6545]

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff last car I've seen a proper spare wheel was my wifes 2017 kia cerato, my swift sport had the out of date tyre goop (glad I noticed when I didn't get a flat haha) As always, keep the entertaining reviews coming 👍

Great review 👍 If the 5 cylinder does come to Cupra, will it be called the Cupra Formentor Cupra?! 🙂

[@angelnikolov7479]

More like Cupra Fivementor

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

@@angelnikolov7479 It just got confirmed!

I'd call it like one of slayer's songs. Tormentor!!!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Amazing. I couldn't see Kerry King in one though

Kerry drives pink micra lol

[@pachiquesipe2057]

FOR MEN THOR ....FOR prononciation

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Thank you!

[@johnfranklin6394]

Only if THOR is pronounced with a hard T and not the usual Th sound. I would go for Four Men Tour.

[@Dylanesque]

No CD player. 🤔

[@BlaZeDGaming2012]

Hi - does it DSG fart?

Lol , your comments are hilarious , currently have a Cupra Ateca and this is quite a good in depth review for this new car , think I’m staying with the Ateca 😬

[@rossrowley2091]

Unlike you, trying so hard to be relevant having opinions... Nobody cares about

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

It's pronounced Bread. "Formentor" means "Wheat". What a weird name for a car. Are there sister models of Barley and Rye on the Seat Grains Platform?

[@DontPanicDear]

Makes me think of home brew 😂

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

😂 love it

[@arifvardalia5785]

Apparently its named after the Cap De Formentor Mountain range in Mallorca. But hey thats what the saleswoman told me.. when I ordered this thing last week.. can't wait for it to arrive!!.. BTW great review!

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

@@arifvardalia5785 Yes she's right, or could be the Formentor Beach but same thing and that naming comes from 'wheat'.

[@litom9412]

Formentor (stress in the last syllable) doesn’t come from bread or wheat. It comes from “hill”
