I am going from a 2006 Seat leon, so quite a big step up from my previous car, really can't wait.

It took me ages to decide on which car I wanted as well, I looked at Skoda Kamiq, VW T-Roc, the new Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tuscon.

Then saw someone driving the Formentor (watched reviews) realised it was in my budget and I knew that was the car I wanted.

Nice! I've upgraded from a 2011 Mini Cooper S which I've had for 5 and a half years- still use but not my daily now. I wasn't even looking for a new car, but at the time when I ordered mine (last May) there were some amazing lease deals on the Formentor when browsing, so I couldn't resist.

I was looking at VW Golf GTI, BMW 128Ti, but the Formentor won by a country mile. Just love the looks of the car and the specification you get as standard is great. Ended up waiting 10 months for mine in the end and turned up in wrong colour ordered Magnetic Tech Grey arrived in Graphene Grey, but can say it's been worth the wait.

BW24. as of today, it is still sitting at factory with status of 20. awaiting delivery of micro conductors before it can be finished. just a normal v2. best case scenario is 4-5 week further wait.

i think i will just make temp arrangements and tell the dealer to delay it for the new reg plate in october.

Looks great, how are you finding the screen being 10" rather than 12" I don't mind about a smaller screen, just wish that the 10" had a smaller bezel.
Well I tried my bosses V1 out earlier this year and it had the 12” screen, but as I’ve had no other exposure to the 12” screen I find no difference whatsoever, and anyway….it’s not the size of the screen, it’s what you can do with it??

Collecting my 1.5 V2 DSG on the 4th August, ordered on 11 Feb this year. Has been remarkably longer than other people especially since it has no extras.

I waited 9 months (and a day) for my VZ2 with no extras. And there's many on here who've waited longer. Just sit back, wait for the delivery and enjoy when it arrives mate.

Anyone else have a 5 week delay on there Formentor? Mine was BW22..
Yes, I was dropped onto a car which was described as “being built” and would be 4 weeks, that was 4 weeks ago (WK26 I ordered) to now find out it has been sat since WK22 doing nothing. I’ve been told another 4 weeks but it’s obviously just a guess. Bit annoyed they didn’t just tell me the truth originally and I’d have held onto our old car to fill the gap..

Same. Bw23 and car is built and sat in the car park awaiting on microchips. Every week get told it will leave any day now. hopefully it progresses before factory summer shut down
