Still just bedding in but delivers decent punch when I've pushed a bit harder. My last car was a 3008 180bhp..obviously bigger car but the formentor at 190 certainly seems much more keen to go then that did. Holds the road really well too. I don't think you will be disappointed! I only test drove the 310 but it scared my wife so I had to compromise

she was also wanting better fuel economy for the 30,000 miles a year she has to do in it for work so hopefully we can get in the 40 mpgs for it. What’s the fuel economy you’ve found so far (obviously it may get better as it beds in)?Low 30s driving like I normally would. Yesterday 38mpg but stuck behind traffic all the way to work and back so no chance to open the throttle much. I suspect trying to achieve 40 may be difficult (and not much fun)Hahaha sounds very much like me and my partner
I guess it might be a case of persuading my partner to have a very light right foot
. Also maybe with the majority of her driving being motorway I'm holding out hope we can reach that magic number!
When did you place your order?Finally some news! Dealer sent the registration documents (71 Plate) to me today with delivery on the 1st September
VZ2 310 in Magnetic Grey
Just seen this:-
That isn't promising news, although thankfully it says it only stopped production for two days. Fingers crossed they are able to still proceed building.Just

Could explain why my car isn't finished after two weeks in production.
My car was scheduled for the same October delivery. We have just got confirmation that the car was a week 32 and it is built and scheduled for the 3rd sep ship. They suggested an arrival on the 11th into the uk with deliver a week or two after.
I chatted to customer support yesterday. They confirmed there’s a ship leaving on the 3rd. My car has been built for weeks and is at the port, they said it hasn’t been allocated a place to be on the ship yet and may well not be on it. They said the chip shortage has impacted the number of sailings.
You did very well there. I did another price up on leasing company site yesterday to gauge price changes, and if I was too order same car again now, it would cost me another £5200 over the course of the lease. That is a huge increase of approx 25% and doubt I would have ordered one at them prices.A bit after the event to say this but I was looking in May, saw cars advertised at dealers in Autotrader, contacted one (about an hour away) who didn't have the spec I wanted (VZ2 310 in red) but he arranged a swap with another dealer (and arranged trailer transport) and I got the car...all within a week! And with a reasonable discount. Things may have changed but I'm glad I didn't place a factory order!
I worked mine out to be almost the same at £5024 and that's only over 2 years!! I am happy to pay £284, not £411!
