Sounds about what I have, but with the 10spd in it – thinking I may remove it for something else!

Asking PGG for change and expecting positive results. 
Novel idea! Wonder if it will work? Well, if anyone did delete their garbage before looking I might be enticed into putting mine up for auction. But even PGG doesn’t think they have much value as the auction buy out price reflects.

The original transmission is 7 speed dual clutch. Didnt see any shift to 7th.

I like the Formentor, but strangely it’s partly half-Forzavista. Apparently it’s because of some hasty recalls.
I’m not sure what it is, maybe just me driving with keyboard, but this Ferm … Form … thingey simply won’t turn on tarmac when going slow.
I put front aero, maxed it, running offroad tires, it dose some turning on speeds, but slowing down, it simply won’t turn on tarmac. Taking slow turns offroad is also not that great, Jag or Aston turn much better.
Slowing down to crawling to make those corners on tarmac parts of weekly championships, wild.
All in all its a pain to drive and won’t be using it ever again.
I didn’t reply yesterday as I hadn’t spent enough time with the Tavascan to have a proper opinion.
Yesterday evening I took it for a drive and I was surprised at how well it drove -especially after reading this thread. It does have character I think. Tapping the break in a corner will make it slide nicely. It tends to be a little understeer-y in its stock form, but otherwise I didn’t think it was a bland car.
I mean: For an AWD car in that class I wouldn’t expect much more.
When I got a tune to get it up to A800 and went into the Trial I really had fun with it. I ended up finishing second (because of a mistake) and generously first with it. The car was fun to drive, sliding just enough in corners and actually being a bit scary to drive at high speed on the bumpy countryside.
Obviously this was with a tune, but still definitely a car I’d use more often.
I think quite a few people, especially those with a love for muscle cars, feel the character or personality of a car comes from the noise it makes. I saw the same with the Extreme E discussion. I still very much enjoy how these cars handle, but they never got much love because they are so silent.
It is a different way of admiring cars.
And I agree, most of the EV cars sound freaking boring and if they don’t they have an almost annoying scream. But if you leave the sound aside I think some of them are amazing cars and the rest just blend right in.

I also enjoy driving the Tavascan at A800. It handles well for its weight and is far less aggressive on the brakes/corner entry than the Formentor.
Thus, for freeroam or co-op races it’s fine but I am a performance nerd and there it has significant weaknesses.
I lined it up against other A800 SUVs (all Rallye tires, no aero) at the Marathon and although it is a track where EVs tend to do better it was a good 10 seconds slower than a F-Pace, Macan or Durango.
For me, it ruines the car knowing it could be so much better.

Which I guess brings us back to PI values being all over the place right?
I would say: don’t blame the car, blame the rating.

Which is what I always trying to do. The vehicles are simply the vessels to show the system flaws.

Tuned it to a800 and used in trial, came first pretty easy on both tracks so i liked it.

I would say it is more of the cars habits and feel over sound, are what create its personality, in my opinion at least.
Cars that feel like rubber bands just don’t do it for me lol
I still laugh hard at the idiotic and ignorant option we have for some of them to “change the electric motor and battery…” If people only knew…

Guys, I have bug. In messages I have only formentor, but I already have that one. Tavascan I still haven’t. Have anyone solution for this?
Sounds like you lucked out in not having to delete the dirty diaper of the two – I envy you for that.
They’re dirty cheap in the Auction House since people dont want them lol
That’s possible, but I didn’t delete any messages. Do you have any solution, as I will have to buy the car next season at a car dealership
I would claim the other gift and see what happens. They haven’t been added to the autoshow so if you need one it’s the auction house. The alternative is to enter a support ticket and hope they send one to you.
I thought they said they were going to the autoshow but their in-game description is as prizes and just the previous model is in the autoshow.
EDIT: they’re being added to the autoshow next series according to Max’s post.
If you can’t get one through the gifts or the AH, you can always do the event in multiplayer and use the Rental car, to get the event completed.

I don’t buy it. You never even gave the car a proper chance yet you keep bashing it.

It took up a garage spot – I drove it enough to make the determination it does not warrant a spot in the garage.
Feel free to interrogate me more on my preference of what a “proper,” car is and what I choose to keep in my garage though.
And I suppose you better not ever remove any cars from your garage you haven’t given a “proper” test too, ya?

Biases are biases for a reason. Most people don’t make such a huge issue of their biases, shouting about them at the top of their lungs at every opportunity, but there we are.
