Hey Tom, I totally follow the flow of this video. Click Bait Yes But, by being honest and upfront about the whole thing, I’m sure any long term subscribers, like me, will be ok with this. U r an expert on Porsche, and fastidious with due diligence, so, there’s no way, you’d unknowingly buy a Cat D vehicle etc. U bought this car knowing about the previous crash, and u obviously paid an appropriate price, based on its previous damage. It’s all good. The churn is real ! As long as u r honest with your audience, u won’t lose the trust and credibility that u have. 👍 ps More RR content please 🙏🏻

Such a amazing car, I’m just glad no one was hurt and all ok. It’s so cool seeing how a damaged car can be saved and made road safe. I knew you wouldn’t just buy a car without checking it so it’s no surprise. But thank you as always for being honest!! I wish more where like you!

A timely reminder to take care when purchasing a used car. Also worth noting that specialist vehicles are best repaired by a specialist and NOT the standard insurance approved repairer in a rush to get cars back out as cheaply as possible. Looking forward to more on the Cupra Formentor which reminds me of the original Subaru Forester as a halfway point between an SUV and estate. Thank you.

I recognise this is a month old and you’ve most likely already bought new shocks but you should consider Tractive suspension. I have a custom 997 GT2RS build which has Tractive and it’s amazing. It is active suspension, and can be programmed to your bespoke settings.

I feel your pain - (1) from the original photo the car looked like a write off (2) the car was not repaired by a Porsche approved repairer (3) a sub frame should never be re-welded it should be replaced (4) remarkable that second strut went back on the car, it is clearly bent (5) the car should have been put on a jig for its first repair. Well done for doing the right thing and putting it back together properly. By putting the car back together properly it will reward your driving experience and ultimately your wallet in the unlikely event you sell it.

So painful to see something like that happen!

Had my Formentor for a year now and I absolutely love it. Done 14k miles including multiple road trips and it’s very comfy. Came from a BMW m135i, the 2.0l version (I know, boo-hiss) which I only had 9 months as couldn’t really love it. But for Formentor has been cracking and won’t be going anytime soon. Looking forward to your review

While you have the suspension off it would be easier to do a body measure to see if there is body damage to the tub and chassis legs which sit halfway up the tub as the measurements points are easier to get to while it’s apart and just to give you an idea of my knowledge I’m a vehicle damage assessor at a Porsche recommended body so I deal with them all day long
