    That website!

      So true, I stopped after 30 seconds of trying.

      "We need the least accessible website you can make!"

        I eventually found the information, but I felt frustrated.
        I must be from the wrong culture and too old.

    • not an ev but they do have evs though which is good.

        • +14

          thats because they are paying too much for fuel and servicing they can't afford to buy lattes.

        • +2

          I do, as I’m lactose intolerant or something.

          Also I drive an MG4 which I leased and it costs me basically nothing to charge with solar. Maybe 20c a day worst case. I also get a per km rebate so probably make money to drive it except for tires 😂

          • +1

            @WhyAmICommenting: Does work pay your kms?

            I test drove the mg4 and it seems so cheap I couldnt do it.
            My 2020 camry seemed way nicer in comparison.

            Felt the same in the tesla too though

              @mavis30551: It’s through work but it’s all private. EVs are 100% FBT free at the moment on lease. Is costing the government millions but it’s good for the environment!

            • +1

              @mavis30551: The MG4. I get it, feels cheap and basic, but also feels rock solid and its actually a bit of fun to drive. Like others, we have it on lease with not FBT, its a cracking deal IMO. We have a Kodiaq VRS which is the road trip car, much nicer, but for quick trips to the shops etc I prefer the MG4.

      • Were we expecting a "2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder" EV?

        • +3

          Nope I was expecting an EV to have a 4.0l twin turbo 😁.

          Minus the cylinder's and turbo's 🤣

        They've been around the $40k mark drive-away for some time. That's advertised price too. If you actually expressed interest in buying one the price dropped even furrther.

              depends on how much you value your 'time' public transport is terribly time inefficent as you have delays need to be at stops early and often cant get 'exactly' where you need to go

              ill note it is not reliable you cannot realiblabily get to 98% of locations in Australia on public transport

              i would actually say riding a bike/e-bike is probably the only thing that might come close to a car as it is cost effective and easy but there is a limit on the 'persons peronal fitness'

                The majority of Australians live in urban areas with decent to great public transport access and options. The train and bus options near me (or walking) are substantially more convenient than driving to most destinations I regularly go to. A five minute walk on either end is not a detractor from “exactly where you want to go”.

                If you want to talk about places with poor transport options, I’d argue that living in such locations and being dependent on driving is far more time ineffficient than living elsewhere and relying on public transit.

                Sitting in a car for 2 hours a day is a huge waste of time in my opinion. Then the amount of time spent looking for parking at your regular haunts etc… fighting with traffic… stress rising.

                And I’m a car fanatic.

                • @jrowls: My mum didnt drive so i took public trasport almost my entire kid life

                  If you actually actually had to use anything public transport to get around you would know ot sucks - i fondly remember doing a grocery shop carrying bags whilst your bus is 15 mins late then walking 15mins from the bus stop home is terrible (and back then they gave you plastic bags not this paper crap we have now)

                  You also get endless amounts of drunks, drug addicts and just disgusting people masterbaiting etc on trains, and trams

                  Ive peronally witnessed >4 hour delays, people pissing on trains, all out brawls and more then 1 occasion someone OD

                  Public trasport has gotten better but it is far from realiable or convenient it is cost effective but trading with 4-5 people a car is probably still cheaper

                  Most households own a car becuz out public transport system is terrible unless heading to the city in which is is adequate for work/social purposes but for school drop off/pick up, going to the gym or sports club etc a car is usually the method of choice

              @pauly85: You can't really put a price on "not having to deal with people stinking of vomit at 6am".

              • +3

                @Ryven: Doesn't make it any cheaper though.

                I'm not arguing against car ownership but there is no way you can consider it "One of the cheapest forms of transport".

                Depreciation alone makes it one of the most expensive.
                That's before fuel, insurance, rego, servicing.

                If you live rurally it may well be "The only form of transport", but if you're anywhere urban it's just not true.

                • +1

                  @pauly85: It really depends on your habits. My car costs me $6k per year servicing, tyres, fuel, insurance, registration, inclusive of depreciation calculated at the vehicle losing 10% of it's value per year and having no value after 10 years, which is generally not going to be the case. If I were to commute to work by train it'd cost me over $4k with no additional trips factored in. I'd assume weekend trips and any discretionary uber/taxi trips where public transport isn't convenient would mean driving is cheaper for me. Public transport would only work out cheaper if you don't have to travel on a daily basis, or I guess if you feel the need to buy a more expensive car.

                  • +1

                    @Ryven: You forgot to mention also that there are significant savings if more than one person is using the vehicle.

                • @pauly85: Price per KM travelled to get to a destination car will almost always win if you wanted to take a train to from Melbourne to Sydney with 5 peoples it is way more expensive

            All through asia its a motorbike/scooter.

            Admittedly Australia is close to the cheapest place in the world to run a car when running costs are taken into consideration.

        • It's 100% true if you live in Sydney and have young children or work far from home.

        • +4

          Accessible (requires constant maintenance), efficient (burning fuel to transport 1-4 people), reliable (zero redundancy), cheapest (most expensive).

          • +1

            @frostee: This is legitimately true for all forms of transport bar walking lmao

          • @frostee:

            (burning fuel to transport 1-4 people)

            Much more efficient than the countless massive busses driving around in circles all day out in the suburbs with basically no passengers.

            Public transport is only efficient when transporting large groups of people who all happen to want to go to the same location at the same time (ie. peak hour into CBDs and routes around CBDs).

            For all other circumstances, public transport is incredibly inefficient and wasteful and is basically a form of social welfare (which is a valid argument, but be honest about it).

            (zero redundancy)

            Uber and taxis exist. As do insurance policies with hire car options.

            cheapest (most expensive)

            Not if you value your time. Or in some circumstances your time's worth is quantifiable, eg. commute taking 4 times as long than driving meaning you have to spend more paying for childcare. Or you get sick sitting next to strangers on your commute meaning you have to use sick leave at work.

          Agree. People want to own a car - unless you're some kind of city boy champagne socialist.

        Alot of people drove the Hyundai Excel back in the day when they were $9990 drive away.

        • I can't speak for the X1 & X2 but the X3 didnt go below $11990 driveaway from memory.

          • +2

            @Matt P: Don't know which generation, but Excels were definitely under $9990 drive away during a promotion mid 90's.

    • I think the BYD Atto 1 (or Seagull in some markets) is looking to be mid 20's. It will be a while before we see sub 15k without some government incentives…

  • +11

    Almost 1200 vehicles across the rang in stock, no wonder they're starting to discount them. It must cost a fortune to have that sitting around depreciating.

    • +11

      then this discount is nowhere close to where it's supposed to be

    • +1

      Imagine the holding cost, without even considering depreciation on the asset. Haha

      • The distributor is VGA, they've got plenty of money

    • Ouch.

  • Wouldn’t mind a VZX Formentor but depreciation and fuel consumption/cost is a worry. Still a lot of money to spend on a car and feel like it would be best to go hybrid or maybe full EV at this point. Annoying that if you go for hybrid in Formentor you lose AWD. I feel like they will be very good used buys though.

    • +1

      You don't need "AWD", especially a front driven part time AWD.

      • +7

        It’s a 221kw car. AWD will be handy.

        • -1

          VZX is an "AWD", not the lower output models, which also won't churn out 2xxkws.

          Civic type R churns out similar but manages fine as AWD. Largely down to chassis, throttle and suspension.

          • @SetTheFaqUp: The vzx is the 221kw trim

            • @Brick Tamland: Yes. Aware and driven it a rental.

              Comment is to "Annoying that if you go for hybrid in Formentor you lose AWD."

          • +4

            @SetTheFaqUp: What even is this comment?

            Type R is famously FWD

            Cupra Formentor VZX is on demand AWD and 228kW

            • @HeartTimely: To highlight a well developed chassis and tuned suspension will eliminate much of the negative of a high powered FWD and the AWD is not needed (especially a front biased AWD).

              2xxkws is frankly not a lot.

              • @SetTheFaqUp: It’s heaps for the road. Will get you from 0-100 in 5 and something seconds. The only things quicker are serious performance machines and some EVs.

                • -4

                  @Brick Tamland: Not quite. Even my very pedestrian GS350 (same 2GR as a Camry) runs sub 5-6 seconds. Let alone the Evo X and the other fun cars.

                  7 seconds was okay some years back, which is today's sub 5 second cars, far from uncommon.

                  • +4

                    @SetTheFaqUp: 5-6 sec is not pedestrian. Those v6 motors are just freaks for the car they were put in. Dont forget that most cars on the road like dual cabs are probably close to 10 sec or more to 100. That is mostly the maximum pace of traffic. 7 sec is still entirely reasonable and quicker than most of the traffic still. When you have proper fast cars doing 0-100 under 4 sec like bmw M3 and Porsche then a 5 sec car is on its heels and is a serious bit of kit.

                    • @Brick Tamland: The only outlier at home is the MX5, which is pretty slow for 0-100. Runs about the same time as the Atto 3, which is the modern day corolla.

            • +1

              @HeartTimely: Haha. Yeah. It’s part of the type r magic.

    • The current VZE is FWD, but the incoming updated model is AWD (and similar power outputs to the VZX) so might be what you’re looking for.

      Maybe wait for a EOFY demo or something though…or used.

    • I have the VZ, average fuel consumption is 7L/100km (best was around 6L on average for longer drives). It's not a fuel guzzler by any means.

      I will say the market value is definitely dropping though. I don't like the full hybrid/ev options for Cupra currently. It's been a great 3 years with it so far.

      • +1

        7L/100km is not bad, but for VZX I’ve seen some people say it does more like 12L/100km which is a far cry from 7.7L figure

        • Cupra city driving - below average - 8L is expected. Highway driving, my lowest on full fuel has been 5.1L.

        • Yeh - high 10's avg for me …..

  • +9

    Formentor vzx MY24 models for $51990 is a steal.

    I'm one of the OG buyers who paid full price two years ago, great cars!

    • +3

      Rented one for the great ocean drive trip. Thoroughly impressed. Its a shame not many people know about Cupra.

      • +6

        Why did you rent one when you could've just carjacked?

      • +2

        Same thing happened with Skoda. I bought one every cheap when they were new but once they had brand presence and got established, prices skyrocketed.

      • Absolutely! The amount of kit for $51,990 for the formentor Vzx is pretty good value. Plus, it's a fun car to drive with the adaptive dampers and all wheel drive.

        • +1

          "adaptive dampers"

          Not if you want to own it for long. Even Toyota can't resolve leaking issues associated with adaptive dampers.

          • @SetTheFaqUp: Why would they leak?

            • -3

              @Brick Tamland: Don't know, suspect more stress around the seal due to damping rate changes? The controlled valve is constantly adjusting itself.

              Not uncommon to see adaptive damper fail before 100,000km - some as early as 50,000km.

              • +1

                @SetTheFaqUp: I guess that’s dependant on how often you change the suspension settings. Most people like probably find a setting they like and keep it there just flicking between everyday mode and a sporty mode.

  • +1

    Gold price is going up and car prices coming down…this is so weird.

    At this rate, new cars will be worth about an ounce of gold soon.

  • Absolute steal
