Any perfect Formentors out there?

[Hizzards]

Well the OP asked if there were any perfect cars out there and mine has been far from perfect, so giving my opinion. If you don't like it, skip over my reply!

Because I’m skipping over it in every single other thread.

Even the usual suspects who have returned their car are hanging around like a bad smell. They had personal issues with the car, got the return they wanted, but STILL hang around to complain.

I suspect there's a LOT more folk happy with their car and don't even bother or know about this forum than are unhappy, the Forum whilst very informative and interesting IS, at the end of the day, a mere snapshot of Formentor owners and their experiences, both good and bad

We’ve been over this. Every single other thread. If you want to go off topic, do it somewhere else.

Whoa, wind your neck back in there son.

I mis-read the op's request and thought they were after opinions, when I realised they just wanted false hope I stayed out of the thread and is the reason why I haven't replied again, so your post is uncalled for.

C’mon peeps let’s keep these posts amicable please. People asking questions and giving answers is not a crime but we must keep it all civil.

That was uncalled for

In all honesty the thread question is completely pointless as there is no such thing as perfect, what they are asking is are there any acceptable cars out there? Then it is down to everyone's own perception of what is acceptable. Is it of acceptable quality, reliability, functionality, etc? You yourself have pointed out errors or things you'd like to change therefore it isn't a perfect car, however for you it is perfectly acceptable and you would recommend it. Others may feel differently, for example they may feel their car is reliable but not acceptable in quality or functionality for a £42k car. Also we may be comparing apples to oranges, I have a VZ2 310 but someone else may have a hybrid so we both probably want different things out of our cars, what is acceptable to them may not be for me and vice versa. With experience I'd preferred to have bought the VZ3 to gain the Brembo brakes as the standard 2 pots don't give me the feel I'm used to, therefore it isn't perfect but it is acceptable. Is this constructive or just me complaining about the car, well this depends on your point of view. What if I said the standard brakes are rubbish, it's actually the same exact thing but comes across completely differently.

As I said I misinterpreted the op's question giving my opinion where ultimately it wasn't wanted. What I didn't appreciate was being accused of randomly joining threads to bring them down. I joined this forum to be a part of it, to ask questions and share my experiences and knowledge where I can. I don't join forums just to complain and as I mentioned I was here for a few weeks before I ordered my car trying to get a feel for it and the brand. I listened to everyone's opinions and made my own choice. Looking back at my history people can see I've asked questions about some of the things my car does, some are things that are actually normal and this forum helped me understand that, the rest are things I'm experiencing.

Some just take this too seriously. If I loved my car and someone said it was crap I wouldn't bleat on about how they are wrong and to go elsewhere, that's their opinion and has no bearing on my own thoughts and experiences, but I can appreciate they may have different expectations or requirements. I can also confirm that when I do eventually sell the Formentor I won't be back on here as I won't have common experiences to share.

I will leave this thread alone now as I'm taking it a little off topic.

Thanks, I've learnt something new today. I didn't actually know what that meant so I had to look it up on an urban dictionary.

Or being rude and insulting otherwise why bother typing it?

Obviously you didn't read it either as I didn't slag the car off or say anything negative and my post was relevent to this thread not others.

 

[Spivvy]

Actually I did read it

You’ve proven by replying again it was absolutely called for.

Get a different car and go complain on its forums.

Perfect or not, my wallet likes it On fuel

 

[Gbbeesls]

I have had my Formentor for about 6 weeks now and I can honestly say it’s been great. It’s the VZ2 310 and now has about 2000 miles on the clock. Yes, there are some quirks but nothing that really matters. Had many cars from BMW’s, Mercedes, VW’s etc etc. The Formentor is one of my favourites, it’s quiet, smooth and goes like a stabbed rat!!

 

[Andy.M]

Stabbed rat, never heard that before

 

[Tell]

A stabbed rat would bite back ... assisted catching duties when the cats brought one in then too frightened to deal with it. Killing zone and wack it with a rat trap... over grown mouse trap is the solution . All rat catching guidance given free . If it happens to jump in the toilet the handle comes in useful.

Is that on a Hybrid?

 

[Radagast]

Had my V2 three months ish, and I love it. Infotainment locked up a couple of times, but reset sorted it. Couldn’t be happier

 

[dashnine]

Is that on a Hybrid?

Yep, battery charge on bottom and on left. Pretty meaningless as you could fill up the petrol tank, but re-charge constantly and never use the engine (as long as you never go further than 30 odd miles).
