2022 CUPRA FORMENTOR 310 VZ3 REVIEW | Family Supercar | 4K

I review the latest car from Cupra, The Cupra Formentor 310 bhp 4drive VZ2. In this video ‪@cuprauk6074‬ invited me down to Oxfordshire to drive their latest cars and give my verdict. The day started with a Cupra Born Performance, click the link here to take you to that video • CUPRA BORN 230 E-BOOST...
I was really excited to drive this new car from Cupra as the Formentor is a first bespoke, ground up Cupra. This car in question is the top spec 2.0 TSI 4Drive VZ2, the top spec fastest Cupra Formentor they make. In this video I review the looks, the interior, the practicality and of course the way it drives on the roads round here in Oxfordshire.
It is definatly worth mentioning how great thios day was, when Cupra invited me down to Oxford for this press drive I dint know what to expect. We started the day at Mollies Diner and began the day heading though the drive through with all the car. The day was captured beuatufly by ‪@three2309‬ and some of the shots you see are from them so I want to take the opportunity to say a huge tyhank you to both Three2 and Cupra UK for making the day so good.
I hope you enjoy this detailed review of the Formentor, be sure to check out all my other videos from press drives with the links below. Don't forget to leave a comment and SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already for plenty of videos to come.

I get my VZ2 310 Formentor in three days, really excited about it as I've watched so many positive Formentor videos on here, just one thing, I don't recommend that colour, it's a £2k+ option and looks great in the show room but it's a bugger to keep clean, it comes with special washing instructions, I've gone for magnetic grey, black leather and a panoramic roof.

[@JoeTalksCars]

£2k that’s mental!!! Yeah it looked good that day but I had a full team of Valeters on hand 🤣

[@craigh6775]

I’ve had my VZ2 in the same colour since June last year , love it , I also opted for the Pan roof as well , not many out there with this option, had to wait for 5 months for mine though

[@danielh2174]

Just got a vz3 with pan roof same colour , as long as you can take care of it with good products maybe a ppf you'll be fine

[@leeandjancruise]

@@danielh2174 Congratulations, welcome to the tribe, expect the unexpected as the infotainment system is a beetch but it's still a wonderful car.

[@kiwiryker]

I’ve owned my VZ for 3 months now , best setting is individual mode under profile , turn off pumped sound , everything else on boost , and hang on for dear life 😂

[@6221jules]

Hi from Australia. Great video. Got the launch edition of the VZx 3 weeks ago & absolutely love it! 😊

[@JoeTalksCars]

Nice! They are such a great car. Love that people are not sure what it is 🤣 nice having something a little different. Thanks for the comment, love seeing that my videos reach Australia! Crazy 😜

[@craigkidd6952]

we ordered a Formentor in Feb… still waiting now due Mar 22. it’s been so long I’d forgotten all the nice touches

[@smithyrulez88]

Order a vz2 in June and originally told November for collection, then recieved the dreaded delayed until March 2023 message. Just kept on at the dealership and now my car is due in next week. They told me it was due to pan roof and the electronices involved. My advice would be to hound them.

[@RickUnwin]

Nice vid pal. I've got a VZ2 310 is magnetic grey. Had it since march 2021. Overall I've really enjoyed having it. A few buggy glitches with the infotainment and because everything runs through it when it does glitch sometimes it can leave you a bit stranded etc like air conditioning locking up on a setting and you can't do anything about it unless you stop, turn car off back on etc ( not great if you're on motorway etc), thankfully it doesn't happen too often and when it does I just put it into cupra mode drop a couple of gears and all is forgotten. I find it really comes alive in the first couple of gears. When you drop it into second doing 30-35 it has such a kick when you put your foot down. It likes being between 3-4k rev range and when you're in it you can pretty much give anything on the road a run for it's money etc. Launches really well too, pins you into your seat and gathers up to 60 very quickly. I used to chuck it around tight bends when I first got it and it is quite amazing how well it sticks. A bit less so now that tyres have had a bit of wear in them, may need to invest in some more to have that full confidence. Like you say though for an all rounder £ for £ and with the spec you get I can't think of another car that gives you the performance and every day convenience. It's perfect for my young family and perfect for me when I'm on my own too.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thanks for the comment! Great to hear you a loving the car! They are truly brilliant and would love to add one to the garage. I prefer the way it looks and drive over a golf R and it’s nice to have something different I guess.

[@RickUnwin]

I think I was in the first group to take delivery in the UK. Took me a couple of months to see another on the road and the looks that you got/ get, it is definitely a head turner. I like to go for the less obvious choice and that is what this was initially, now you start to see a lot more on the road, I love the presence it has even though it isn't a massive car and the way it stands out from the crowd of normal/ safe options. Like I say you do see a lot more on the road now but they all seem to be hybrid models, still quite rare to come across a 310hp model on your daily commute with those give away quad exhausts. A colleague of mine has purchased one but it's the v1 hybrid version. They have to look at my vz2 310hp model every day in the car park! Ha

[@ryanpacker1115]

Great review! Just ordered the VZ2 310 bhp Forementor that should be delivered in the new year, can’t wait!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Bet you can’t wait! It will be worth it! Love the Formentor. Have you got a delivery date yet?

[@ryanpacker1115]

@@JoeTalksCars We find out on Monday but def within the next 2 weeks. Absolutely buzzing!

[@SamwalthamYT]

@@ryanpacker1115 Hey Ryan, I'm also looking at getting a VZ2 and wondered how you're finding yours so far? Cheers!

[@ryanpacker1115]

@@SamwalthamYT Hi Sam, it’s going well. Almost 2 thousand miles in & apart from the very occasional software glitch (‘loading settings’ page on the infotainment screen froze maybe twice which needed a quick hold to reboot). It a great looking car, seats are awesome & the performance is good. Turn off that OTT faux noise through the speakers in Cupra mode & you’re good to go! 🤣 The car is unique in the sense you still don’t see to many of them on the road so turns a few heads 👍🏻

[@nilsneimanis]

what do you think about the cupra leather seats, it seems that they're pretty worn-out after 20k km (saying from seen advertisements) meanwhile volvo with almost 300k km (own experience) is in better shape thanks for answering my question 🙏

[@JoeTalksCars]

So I only had the car for a day. I have to say the leather was nice, very soft and felt somewhat near what I have in my Porsche Cayman, all I can say is that is wearing well 16 years on so if this is half as good it will be just fine.

[@stevewallace1387]

I looked at one 4 days ago lovely car but I hated the infotainment system so much so I'm not buying it but great everywhere else such a shame but dangerous to use while driving

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah it’s off putting. I did get used to it slowly throughout the day. Just isn’t a great system.

[@mattycooper316]

I've had my Formentor VZ2 since Jan 2020, unfortunately it's only leased and it has to go back in January. Its been absolutely brilliant and i really dont want to give it back to Cupra lol

[@JoeTalksCars]

Shame!! Will you get another! Cupra are doing amazing things at the moment. If you can take a look at the Ateca.

[@mattycooper316]

@@JoeTalksCars I'm not too sure what i'm getting next as i like to change my cars. But love the Cupra brand is bringing out some fantastic cars

[@julian987r4]

First!

[@JoeTalksCars]

To what? 🤣

[@nicknick4156]

What mpg would i get if i do mostly sensible motorway miles??

[@JoeTalksCars]

Not sure but from other cars with the same engine and gearbox I’ve seen 45mph without issue.

[@nicknick4156]

@@JoeTalksCars so the 310bhp can get 45mpg?? Wow. Driven sensibly, obviously

[@mbafalosable]

I hate the fake sound coming from the speakers

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah I just don’t understand why they do it. Guessing it just makes the cars feel sporty. I mean it added something to the drive.

[@FOXHOUND4143]

GREAT REVIEW! You’re a man that talks sense and you have superb insight into cars. I have subscribed! Keep up the good work!!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you!! Really appreciate that!

[@mikeob4957]

Great video Joe, I’ve had a Formentor VZ2 310 on order since June this year- it’s hopefully being delivered in January now after a few production delays, this video reminded me of how good the car is!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Aww shame it’s been delayed, worth the wait tho! Gorgeous cars, as good if not better then a Macan but half the price.

[@PSHARPE1]

Great vid, we've had our VZ2 310 nearly a year, it's just such an awesome piece of kit and I'm so happy to have it!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! genuinely surprised me, these sort of cars are not what i tend to go for but this got me. I wanted to keep it.

Omg that’s crazy! Assuming they are waiting on parts. It will be worth the wait!!
