Cupra Formentor

[Lucas_R]

I saw my first Cupra Formentor on the road a few days ago. Quite a nice looking car I must say. This one was the matte grey colour with the signature copper badges and black/copper wheels.

I really wish they offered this model in Australia with the 2.5L 5 cylinder turbo engine as I would be very very tempted to buy one with that engine package.

Has anyone else seen one in the flesh yet? What did you think of it?

Just saw one this morning along Victoria Rd Ryde, dirty black one with bronze. Really stood out in the crowd.

+1, me too.

Not made in RHD at all I believe so even if Australia wanted it, won't happen.

Cool. I figured there would be a few getting around by now. Ive only seen that one so far, im sure it wont be long until I see one of the other models.

Yes I had read it was something to do with the RHD setup which is a shame. I was heavily contemplating buying a 2nd hand RS3 recently, but you need $65k for a nice one and I just couldn't justify it for a car I drive about 50-100km a week. But if that engine came in a bigger car (not the RSQ3...its ugly and too small) then I could justify it as our main family car and replace the SQ5 with it. So its a shame that Cupra wont release this engine in the RHD models.

I am a big fan of the design. The extra size works really well for a growing family without going full SUV, so I put down a deposit for the Formentor VZx.

I had an order down earlier but decided to wait for the MY23 which has a few little updates including a 360 parking camera.

Anyone have any idea how to track the shipping of allocated VINs from Spain? I found an old thread in the VW forums, but the link is long since dead.

Have a look in this thread, post #27 I have ordered/received my new T-Roc

I have managed to track my daughter's T-Roc with this from Spain to Brisbane (landed on this past Saturday (15Oct)) with it.

Cheers Sharkie!

Congrats mjgriffo, what did you order?

Due to delays on my t roc I surrendered the deposit and pick up a nice grey VZX this weekend……
