    Very good and thorough presentation as usual.
    Compared to my 1st gen VZ:
    pros:
    -more engine power (23 hp) and torque (20 nm)
    -bigger infotainment screen and new sound system (hopefully better than the Beats in mine)
    -padded center console and copper details around the shifter
    -back light bar with the Cupra logo
    - torque vectoring (although not sure how this benefits the dynamics other than for drifting)
    cons:
    - front mask/grille , not as aggressive, seems to belong to suit better an electric version/Born
    - front lights more mainstream
    - lighted touch sliders for volume and aircon (I love the all blacked out sliders on mine, too much lighting is annoying to the eye,
    although many criticized them and evidently Cupra/VAG have listened)
    Still a great car after 2 years and more than 50k km, without a single issue, except of course of the common periodically
    infotainment/security system glitches that are so far quickly self sorted out.

    I would say 11 speakers and a subwoofer, in home cinema these are separated, for example you have configurations like 5.1 where 5 is the number of speakers and 1 is the number of subwoofers.
    I'm actually really curious about this Sennheiser system, most of these branded speakers are junk from my experience but this one could be decent...

      Just the list price on paper. Nobody buys it for that price. Just look at mobile de, there are tons of vz5's around 40K eur. The most cheapest performance car with 5 cylinder it is a bargain. This will be the same. List price means nothing...

    I like the rear lights, the logo, i really love the white gauges and the new 13" navi, and also the 12 speakers instead of the beats audio from the previous versions. If i had a choise, i prefer the old one. honestly.

    I also think there is a 2.0 tsi with 209hp engine. For all of the people complaining and hating, there is NO car on the market that looks this good for the price, if you are going for the looks. Comparing to audi, you get this agressive looks only in RS versions. People will turn heads for your 1.5 car. If you can get this when it's discounted a bit with maybe solid leasing offer, it's a great deal. If the money is stretched I would go for Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo which was ~10k cheaper in my country for some time. That truly is a no brainer for a new, all-around car.

    Its like Dolby surround sound, 5.1 = 5 speakers, 1 subwoofer, you can hear a subwoofer, but you can't tell where the sound is coming from, thats why you can put it under the boot, or behind a sofa.

    The subwoofer is a speaker as well. Just not a full range speaker (not playing the full range of frequencies).

    I own the previous gen Formentor as a company car. Yes, it’s not an Audi, but a great value for money. I absolutely dislike those front cupholders, they are ergonomically misplaced . Plastics are cheap, but who cares! The ride quality is great, especially when you want to drive a little bit more sporty. Overall a good car and a menacing front. The new model looks fresh, but not mean anymore…

    10:57. Measuring the full length of trunk with folded rear seats should be standard for your review. Just one thing missing when you are reviewing family cars! Very happy to see it in this video. Waiting for Leon review (sportstourer with measured full length trunk space with folded seats. We know leon has the smallest and shortest trunk from all other models from this platform. Measuring full trunk length could be tricky as front seats can be in "far or near" position looking by the max length from trunk.

    Subwoofer is counted separately.
    I have a Dolby Atmos 9.2.2 That's 9 speakers 2 down-firing Atmos side speakers and two subwoofers, one placed fore and the other aft. Not 13 speaker units to an audiophile except on the credit spreadsheet.
    If we counted the speakers we would have to include the tweeters and bass units separately.
    How does 44 speakers sound?
    I hope this helps.

  • @_djsport
    @_djsport Před 7 dny

    Regarding sound, a subwoofer or a tweeter have the same basic function: to reproduce sound, regardless of the range of frequencies they handle, therefore, they are speakers. The audible range for humans encompasses up to approximately 20,000 Hz, and a single speaker has a lot of difficulty reproducing all these frequencies accurately. This is why the audio industry has developed the practice of separating frequencies into several bands and sending each group to a specific type of speaker: tweeter for high frequencies, midrange for mid frequencies, and woofer for low frequencies. Low frequencies are sometimes further divided into mid-bass and sub-bass, with the latter handled by the subwoofer. In summary, regardless of the name, if it reproduces sound through a vibrating membrane, it is a speaker.
    However, it is also true that there are speakers that reproduce sound without a vibrating membrane, such as the Ribbon Technology tweeters used by the manufacturer Adam Audio.
