I did get it delivered there mate. I was tucked away in a corner that's away from most of the school though so no one really saw it. And as it is a phased return there are only a couple of hundred kids in but I did drive past a couple of them on way out and it got a bit of attention. Give it a couple of weeks when the engine is bedded in a bit and I will give them a clue of neutral pops and bangsDid you get the car delivered to your school Rick and if so did you get many comments from staff and students?

Are you the Head Teacher at your school or just thought you would treat yourself to the Formentor?I did get it delivered there mate.

Ha no I'm nowhere near the headteacher I'm only 28. ha and she has a mini clubman ha. Think I'm winning out of everyone in the car park though haAre you the Head Teacher at your school or just thought you would treat yourself to the Formentor?
The Formentor is a really nice car to have at your age, I’m 48 and can’t wait still. I remember when I was 25 and ordered an Impreza Turbo as a company car how long the 8 month wait was but just how excited I was when I got it.Ha no I'm nowhere near the headteacher I'm only 28. ha and she has a mini clubman ha.

Re the demist function, look down to your right at the lighting control panel (don't ask me why they are there as they have nothing to do with the lights!) and you'll find a front screen demist and rear screen heater touch buttons. One touch operation for both on and off.first impressions are it’s very well kitted out and looks better in the metal than in pictures / videos.
I love how it looks (has a purposeful stance) and the seats and seating position for this type of car are really good.
It’s fast enough, but not ridiculously fast, quite happy just cruising around (adaptive dampers work well), doesn’t feel like a car that makes you want to drive fast if you know what I mean.
The infotainment is good, but can be over complicated at first. I’m not normally a manual reader, but there is so much going on that I’m becoming one for this car.
I’m getting there and will get over that pretty quickly.
There are two minor things I don’t like - the fake noise in Cupra mode and the fact that there isn’t a more immediate and easy to access rear demister button.
Getting a ceramic coating applied next week, so will get some photos up then.

Isn’t it always the way - never see another one until you get it
I think the lane assist defaults to switching on, each time you use the car. I don't think you can override this as it's one of the reasons the car got 5 star Euro NCAP? If you look on the steering wheel, on the left side, the button next to the cruise control (to the right?) should switch it off each time at the press of a single button?Well just got in and hung the keys up for the night. Think my missus is going to get jealous as I know have a new love in my life. The only thing that I've got an issue with at the moment and it's only because I haven't read the manual properly and was just pressing buttons ha but I've set the lane assist up when I got onto a dual carriageway and struggled to turn it off and whenever I now enter a dial carriageway it automatically comes on... Anyone know how to sort this without having to get the book out ha?

Cheers maypack, yeah I know you can turn it off in the assist systems I just wasn't sure whether I turned it on via the steering wheel and couldn't get it off or whether it came on automatically when it detects more than 1 lane. My fault really as I was just pressing buttons not really knowing how to do it. I've got no idea how to set the distance/ speed of the car in front but I will get there. Really happy with first impressions thoughEasiest way to turn Lane Assist off is to tap the car icon at the bottom r/h corner of the infotainment screen and you should see the option to turn off Lane Assist.
I do this every time I get in my car (as well as switching stop/start off).

Glad you like your car. Wait till it has a few miles on the clock and then press that noisy pedal to see how much difference there is between the VZ2 and your previous car.
Be prepared for lots of smiles and swearing from your other half
