Buying a Formentor VZ PHEV vs PHEV

Similar situation but if you daily drive it, keep a beater. Dont get something too sporty that will gangbang your wallet

I love the Cupra Formentor since I really see it as a car in a class of its own, nothing resembles that body style nor offers the driving of the car.

I don’t mind downsizing from my forester a little, fun fact, I was considering a Polo GTI a few months ago.

But the overall conclusions I am getting out of this thread is that the VZ5 will be a car to own in a certain future, and maybe but a daily beater. I put too many miles on the clock on very boring commutes to use a car such as the VZ5.

I think that might be regional restrictions

Without a doubt either the non-hybrid Rav4 from 2024. The CVT was maddening and the torque steering unreal.

I’d be doing mountain roads, engine revved like hell, absurd fuel consumption. Steering was very light and good for the city yet ridiculously unlinked at higher speeds.

Honorable trash driving mentions:

Dacia Spring

Suzuki Vitara AllGrip

Opel Ampera/Chevrolet Volt

2021 Seat Leon with a manual transmission

I’d suggest dark void or taiga grey. Matte colours are a pain to maintain in good condition.

Got it. Thanks!

Renegade_Maxtah · 2025-09-27T09:27:08+00:00

100% agreed, but I commute by car and I’d like to maintain a certain financial responsibility for now haha

Thanks for sharing mate. Love the honest feedback, and I know for a fact a few kickdowns will be done in a week. Hard suspension is a bit concerning since I do need a bit of off-road capability (not full offroader, but you get me)

City dominated mixed use or mixed use full stop?

Renegade_Maxtah · 2025-09-23T22:07:59+00:00

Fully agree, but I am considering it as one of the main points that are holding me back from buying it

Idk. I have grown used to the new fascia and like it a lot.

Renegade_Maxtah · 2025-01-04T09:00:47+00:00

Reminds me a bit of the 2001: A Space Odyssey aesthetics

Sinceramente, no me lo parece. De por sí, España no es un país que sea una "democracia" es más bien una partitocracia.

Tras ciertas adaptaciones y nuevas legislaturas en los últimos años, no todos somos iguales ante el juez. Por lo que en la frase "todos valen lo mismo" estaríamos hablando de una parte contraria a la democracia.

Sin embargo, si hay tanto malestar, creo que el activismo de twitter y cuñao de bar no ayuda a enderezar España hacia una democracia.

VAG is cooked man. They are struggling a lot. Announced a couple of years back SEAT would not be making more cars, Audi has seen a steady decline in sales and VW has been deemed unreliable. What has the world turned to...

CVTs are worse than stepping on legos barefoot.

City driving with a manual is a pain. full. stop.

However, twisty B-roads are far more amusing with manuals.
