Thought I’d introduce myself!

I’m from south west England (near cheddar gorge)
Currently own a 2023 Cupra Formentor V2
Trading it in for a 2024 SEAT Leon PHEV early April!

Also have a 2010 Mazda RX8 which is my summer car

Few photos of the formentor

The formentor has now gone!
Replaced with a Leon e-hybrid 1.5tsi PHEV
Picked up from Oldham yesterday, so far, very impressed with the hybrid, achieving a 70mpg average on the 200 mile round trip home

Definitely missing some of the tech from the formentor, but hopefully a lot less issues with this one

Very nice, what colour is that and how does it compare for performance?

It’s a metallic white, not entirely sure on the spec, but was super super cheap
£23k
20 miles on the clock
Pre-reg

It’s definitely faster than the Cupra, and the electric motor takes a bit of getting used to

The battery will do 90% of my journeys as most are less than 60 mile round trip
