2026 Cupra Terramar review
It's the base model, but this is no basic car. The new Cupra Terramar S isn’t cheap, but it’s a class above some mid-size SUV rivals.

Man caught driving without bonnet and driver's seat now without car
No, you can't drive your car without its bonnet, and with a patio chair as the driver's seat. No, not even if you're just ducking down to the wreckers.
Victoria Police says a man has been left without his BMW 3 Series after he was caught driving it without a bonnet… and sitting on a patio chair.
Officers pulled over the 64-year-old Narre Warren South man on the afternoon of Monday, July 21 in Cranbourne North when they noticed it was missing its bonnet.
Upon looking inside, officers noticed “strange seat cushions”, and soon realised the car had had its front seats removed.

The driver had instead been sitting on a plastic garden chair, and allegedly acknowledged he knew the car wasn’t roadworthy.
His excuse? He allegedly claimed he was heading to get some parts. Hopefully a bonnet and front seats were on his shopping list…
Driving without those crucial items netted him a defect notice, and Victoria Police says he’s expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences, though it hasn’t published a full list.
