Highly appreciated! I know there might be some who publish more, but our goal actually is to deliver every single video with the same accuracy and quality, so much preparation and post-work goes into this to make it the best service possible, everything we do is customer/viewer oriented and not self-focussed. I hope enough people realize and appreciate that and long-term the work pays off. We have no venture capital, we don't sell cars and we're always modest. Not the strategy to suddenly gain the most attention, but we rather seek those who dont fall for the big hypes but appreciate long-term authentic and quality content.

​@autogefuehl I used to watch a Carwow or AutoTrader for any news and car reviews, but few years ago they became targeting only upper market, exotic vehicles which became unbearable to watch. Then I found out this gem of a chanel reviewing all sorts of vehicles. Budget, mid range, performance, exotic, electric etc etc. German presenter, speaking perfect, fluent English and reviewing a wide range of German cars does it get any better. With TopGear / Grand Tour trio on retirement you should do a car show.

I've had the 3008 Hybrid4 since late 2021. Yes 300bhp/500nm is nice and fast (in a straight line) and surprises most other drivers, a 300bhp 3008 isnt expected.. BUT when it works! In the last year it's been off the road for just OVER 5 months being 'fixed' for numerous issues. VERY unreliable in the past year, mainly battery issues, Traction AND 12v and a few other things.. Would NOT buy another one, it was over £51k when new with my options- Pan roof, night vision, hifi upgrade, 11kw onboard charger.. Now looking at a UK spec Terramar VZ2 First Edition in Dark Void for my next vehicle. Its up to you, but I can't recommend the 3008 to anyone after my experience. Happy Driving 👍

Just a quick fact, Thomas: Terramar combines the words sea and land in Latin, hence a male seapony from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic season 8.

[@florinRo7808]

Great review as usual, with attention to details and calming presentation style! Thank you both for your efforts and keep it up! I noticed you showed there's no felt material in the door bins, which made me wonder: did you get the chance to see if the side windows are double-glazed or not? Those make a non-negligible difference in terms of heat and noise insulation, and the class/size/group sibling (the Tiguan) has those - as you mentioned in that review. Also the extra-laminated windscreen with heating (optional) on Tiguan would be nice to have on Terramar also, since it offers a lot of sun protection in the summer, but it's not even optional at Cupra. How did you find the overall soundproofing in the Terramar? Is it closer to Tiguan or rather more like the Formentor? It's easily understandable why the Fromentor would feel sportier by comparison, since the last VZ you reviewed (the facelift) had the 333HP 2.0 TSI and it is about 150 kg lighter compared to the Terramar. I'm also on the same page with you on one of your last remarks: I like the Tiguan package&practicality, but not too much it's esthetics. Not to mention the excess of glossy (piano) black they've used in the interior - which makes the Terramar interior a much more pleasant place to be.

Thank you again for the detail. What strikes me about the inside is just how alike it is to every other VW/Audi brand using this platform. As with Skoda, Cupra have done their best to make the UI/UX work with buttons and other style cues. What really lets both brands down, which is VW/Audi’s fault, is the awful iPad on the dashboard with the incompetent touch screen and terrible software. Having heard the pricing, it is not conceivably worth the money for such mediocrity. What would you have instead of this? Something from Alfa, Mini, or Smart; maybe even a low end BMW 1 of some kind.

Hi Thomas, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I’ve recently purchased the Terramare 1.5 Etsi, and while I’m excited about the vehicle, I have a slight concern regarding the engine. Given the weight of the car, I’m a bit unsure if the 1.5 engine will provide enough power for a smooth and adequate driving experience. I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on this-do you believe this engine is sufficient, or might it feel a little underpowered?

[@JohnyMcNeal]

5:25 Hey, well since u asked. :) I have zero intent to be negative about this topic but I will be honest. :) Imo "fake exaust tips" or exaust outlets that are hidden and pointed downwards to exaust into asphalt/road are better in multiple ways. :) Well, we know corporations do that for saving measures although it doesn't make our car cheaper but this way we have to worry less about maintenance in therms of cleaning, protection from water going in during car wash and on top of all exaust fume particles are being caught up on asphalt when exaust is directed toward it. Not 100% of them but vast amount by some studies published now probably around 10 years ago. Ofc I doubt corpos even care about it (they save on this aproach - earn more) but for us it is more beneficial. Thing is tyres catch some from asphalt but that's the case anyways etc. Majority stays on surface cause it has oil in a form with it and it reacts with particles. This isn't my profession not closely so I only tried explaining it simple ways. I think the point is clear. When it comes to esthetics, I guess it's individual. I personally would rather hear something practical concerning presented car than a comment regarding exaust tip as I can see it. What's the fucntional aspect that could replace it? Since it's cupra I'll give u an example I bare in mind since I checked new Formentor. Not all versions have multilink at the back. It would be beneficial to hear which ones have and which ones don't as it's far more important than exaust tips. Also if there's a separate package for bad roads in offer, or package for lower NVH value etc.

[@autogefuehl]

Hmm good question, their main point of fake exhaust is pure design, thats it. So from a manufacturers view, it has always about the visual part.

@@unexplainedwearenotalone3537 Welcome visitor from another planet. SEAT Cupra S.A.U. (Sauron indeed, Thomas) is wholly owned by Volkswagen AG. Within VAG, it is part of the Volkswagen car brand group, and the CEO of SEAT Cupra, Wayne Griffiths, reports to Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Brand. Cupra was the name and modification process SEAT used for its top sport models, in the same was VW employs R, and Audi employs RS. The decision to split Cupra into a unique model range was in 2018.

​​@@autogefuehlcompared to the formentor you tested, do you feel a big difference in relation to the torque splitter? I recently ordered a Terramar but more and more data is coming to me that tells me that this car is not worth the price, first of all the lower power and secondly it is now this torque splitter. probably in the future they will release a 333HP version with a splitter... then I will be pissed

[@autogefuehl]

You notice the torque splitter yes, but only in very sporty driving, the question is if you do that. The Terramar on the other hand is much more comfortable and silent in the drive

Is Seat alive? Haven't heard about this brand for a while

[@autogefuehl]

still alive but no new products

[@stefan-vasileionita2510]

Nice car ! Very Nice ! Except the hood and the door handle s

[@luissousa6]

I prefer door pockets made of plastic and not covered in fabric, if they get dirty, they are easier to clean, they are more hygienic that way

[@jiikoo2000]

Thanks for excellent presentation as usual. Terramar is pretty much what I am looking for my car. Just thinking how it would retain its value. Škoda is much better in that respect.

[@autogefuehl]

cheers!

[@hrvojepetric3235]

Thomas, if you maybe know... People are saying that this product has a newer tech when compared with refreshed Formentor. Do you maybe know what is missing in Formentor? Great review as always. :) Thanks :)

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

DCC Pro 2 Valve and newer engine versions mainly and new infotainment

[@hrvojepetric3235]

@@autogefuehl Thank you. :) Now when I finally know, I do not feel it should be a deal breaker if someone wants Formentor. :)

24:09 I guess you were driving too slow and erratic in the middle lane. But this is how you'd drive when you are distracted by sluggish centre touch screens and talking at the same time .

[@Metyletylhexanoat]

Can someone explain to me why Volkswagen makes the same (basically) car in four (or more?) versions? I'm referring to cupra, skoda, Volkswagen and Audi. Same tech, motor, battery etc just different looks and fabric choices.

[@autogefuehl]

you cover more of the market. Imagine going to the supermarket and you find 5 products, turns out 4 of those are from the same company. Chance you buying one of the 4 out of the 5 is higher.

[@nightowl1923]

Haha 😂 Like the title "Souron's Tiguan". Evil looking SUV indeed.

[@glebpalchin6809]

Is the PHEV VZ version AWD or only FWD?

[@autogefuehl]

PHEV FWD only

@@glebpalchin6809 ds7 it's not am option, at least for me :) it's big indeed, really expensive, but it's just a fancy citroen, nothing more..

[@JackKing12.]

Better looking than the Tiguan...but...that big stuck on screen looks cheap. Integrate it into the dash...and bring back buttons, swivel wheel and knobs.

[@andreipop1]

Isn't the Tiguan the corresponded for Q5?

[@mategombas771]

Sizewise yes, but techwise Q5 is not MQB platform.

[@alxdava2004]

Q3

[@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz]

The Tiguan is for sure more comparable to the Q5. It’s a direct alternative from the same group

[@omenz878]

Q5 has completely different platform (MLB), while Tiguan is on MQB Evo platform. There is a huge difference in the AWD system, suspension, transmission and available engines in both platforms. Tiguan shares more tech with Q3 than with Q5. The only similarity with Q5 is the size, but the market segments are different.

[@MrQuashu]

If they would offer it with plugin awd i would order it immediately, but looks like i need to wait for q3 and then choose it or x1.

[@gxdxmv]

Have you ever thought of putting a warning sign on the back of the car during reviews? Something like: "We're recording a car review. Please don't mind random lane changes and rapid accelerations"

[@glisse499]

That is normal driving behaviour in many of the countries in which Thomas conducts his test drives!!

[@autogefuehl]

I guess that would also attract police ;-)

[@Donzorro849]

I want this car as an EV :)

[@Jeff.55649]

I will never own a Seat again after owning one currently for 5 years, it's crap altogether.

[@autogefuehl]

tell us about the experience!

[@izoyt]

take this styling and interior trim, grab vz5 engine and throw all together in a4 type of karavan for half of the price of audi s/rs line. done and done..

Hey Thomas but inside outside formentor vz much better space and sport aggressive stability flat smooth i love more formentor vz top of cupra
