The difference in height compared to a Leon It's around 5-6 cm, it is practically the same, but with all-wheel drive and a larger engine. As you say, It's not a SUV, It is a car that follows the current fashion of the so-called "Crossover", which is indeed a compact with a little more height.

I am a VZ5 owner and the car is not compareable with a Q3 in terms of dynamics. Its not only faster in straight line but, thanks to the torque split differential, much more agile in corners. Different brake pads are not necessary cause the stock Akebono brake system is so well suited for the track that from my own experince the tyres will overheat before the brakes start to fade. The car is slept on by a lot of people, so you suprise people on the autobahn here and there. I ordered and bought mine for around 50k€ which is a bargain compared how fun and fast the car is. PS: I agreee with the exhaust. You can improve it with a manual valve control but one could imagine how amazing it would sound without a GPF. Still a great daily though

Cupra Formentor is one of the best cars ever made of the past 5 years. The VZ5 is an absolute beast but it's very funny and pleasant to drive also with more "humble" engines like the VZ with 310 HP and the VZ hybrid with 245 HP

This was a long time coming one for me, as a VZ5 owner. Was really wondering when you'll have one on the channel. Hats down to Björn for getting in contact with you. I was really curious based on your experience from other drives how it compares to the other ones, RS3 8Y and RSQ3 F3, but also higher rated cars of the same class such as the old gen (ICE) Porsche Macan. Also, did it feel RWD biased? Was curios if so, as with the rear diff in Cupra mode it should help with torque vectoring under braking as well as acceleration. I agree with the exhaust part. Stock (OPF installed) is a shame for that engine, hence why I'm really considering getting a full kit from Ragazzon (OPF delete & Sport CAT).
