WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT
To find out if Cupra’s crossover is up to the challenge of day-to-day running
T he honeymoon is over. I was still gleaming with faint pride six weeks ago when I wrote the first report on our Cupra Formentor longtermer. Well, now I’ve encountered a few quirks and frustrations, which I’ll fill you in on shortly. On balance, though, I’m still feeling good about life in this handsome, alternative, high-rise hatchback.
So far, I’ve just been using and abusing the car on the daily grind. The occasion has yet to present when I might take it on a really long trip, although I did manage to get out to South Wales the other day, and I’ve now had a full roster of passengers on a couple of weekend trips.
