Only a picture of the Alloys (as you offered in the other thread)
I've already ordered a VZ2 with Sunroof and Sennheiser upgrade on Sunday, so it's a bit late for me to change my mind.

For everyone else, a clear picture of the DarkVoid paint would be handy, as I couldn't find any of these locally.

The video I did (link above) was a dark void car as well.

There is a preoccupation of the missing inside tailgate release if motorised. Has it got one. ? Seems to be a cut and paste between Cupra models manuals on where is the button . It does have it's uses letting people put stuff in the boot or take out without getting out. Useful for hospital pick ups on yellow lines. My last use .

You can photograph the infotainment setting so we know firmware release, map and radio logo file. Useful to check.

Is it really worth £56,915??
Asking for a friend.

 

[Tell]

I'd spend it on an EV myself but ICE people you never know .

I expect mine (272hp) next week as well! I would like though to make sure that the power transfer to the front wheels is not .. dangerous in performance/cupra mode during turns etc. The reason I ask (and will find out myself as well) is that I had driven the 204hp variant during rain and in Cupra mode the torque transferred made my wheels spin.

Other than that I would like to notice the differences vs Formentor (I had the 1.5 tsi dsg btw) in terms of build quality, noise insulation, driving experience (sporty vs smooth ride).

I had also driven recently the Terramar 2.0tsi 265hp plus the previous generation Formentor 310hp. The last 2 have a lot in common.

Hence since most of us here are Cupra enthusiasts, let's briefly hear about some comparisons with existing lineup.

Copying from the Telegraph (and adding to my previous post) :

"Rather, it’s one that gets by on the raffish charm you’d get in an early 1980s performance Ford; lots of wheelspin and tugging of the steering wheel, with a sense that you’re wrestling something that isn’t quite able to cope with the amount of power on offer."

Don't get me misunderstood. I ordered one, waiting eagerly for it.

In other words giving the boy racers what they want . Is that a Ford XR3i... they were girlie cars in Essex. The blokes bought Datsuns. All too long ago.

I would like to know, under normal driving, Start off on a trip with a full battery and full tank, cover say 100km, what is the consumption in hybrid mode (If thats what it's called)

Thinking about a Terramar when my Formentor lease is up.
Can you check the Augmented reality HUD please
Does it show up the directions from Google maps when using Android Auto?
Does this include the AR directions etc when using Google maps?
Could you provide a video of this and the built in Nav differences shown on the AR-HUD
Thanks

Suspect it doesn't but a question worth asking. External navigation tend to be addins to the car systems although some manufacturers centre around Google Maps. HereMaps on these cars, base one is getting it on the virtual display (dont think that happended getting Google maps next turn on the cars screen), base two is getting it on the HUD. But may be leaps and bounds now.

The inbuilt map data is used for ACC (one that winds people up when the road speed isnt correct or TSR has miss read a sign) and EVs for the regenerative breaking which is rather clever.

My Formentor '72 plate can see the Auto Android Google Map directions in the right hand cockpit configurable screen but not in the full map in the centre of the cockpit. So I wondered if it would send the turn info up to the HUD

One @Syphon when in it.

 

[Syphon]

Arrived this morning from Milton Keynes. Thanks for your questions keep them coming.

 

[Lambman]

How much taller is the seat height than a Formentor?
Is it easier to get into or just as low?

 

[Tell]

I've got a feeling it should have the Ateca seating position but I could be wrong. One for Syphon to poor over those diagrams of seat height etc.

 

[vectra]

66.9 mpg

 

[Tell]

I use to get that on my Uno ES

 

[vectra]

@Syphon
That 66.9 mpg.
Was that normal driving or slow speeds?
I would like to know how economical it would be at a constant 100kmh ( 60 mph )And motorway speed 12 kmh ( 80? mph ) for a good distance.
Thanks if you can oblige.
