A friend of mine who works for Seat picked up my Cupra 300 yesterday to take it for a full service for me and left his Formentor to have a play with , really good car and the 4WD was great especially in the wet today , it was weird looking down the long bonnet and I didn't like the false pumped in engine sound in Cupra mode and maybe its just me but I refer my old style dials and entertainment system and found the touch screen and digital dash more enoying than anything but maybe you'd get used to it , it was nice being higher up and the handling was good but after just returning it I was glad to get back in my 300 which just feels more lively and up on its toes in comparison and if it was my 40k plus I'd be looking elsewhere but that's just IMO.
 
See I came from a Cupra 290 ST and I think the Formentor s***s allover it to put it politely

Amazing how hard you can push it in corners, and it's nice to have the haldex with my Leon just being fwd


The soundaktor got turned down as soon as I got it home. Now it's got 2k miles on it it's starting to develop some audible exhaust noise with the occasional rumble/pop

It's the software bugs that let the car down
