172 Sold!

[zac_69_uk]

I have had to do it! I have now p/x my mk2 172 in for a SEAT Ibiza Cupra Tdi.

(1.9 tdi, 160ps, 247 lb/ft @ 2k rpm - but in reality all Cupra Diesels have been RRd at 175 - 180bhp! )

Had to do this due to work commitments, I am now travelling 110 miles a day! Needed to get more miles to the gallon.

Getting use to the diesel now, done about 600 miles. Getting about 50mpg combined which is a bit better then the Clio.

See you boys on http://www.seatcupra.netwww.seatcupra.net

A few photos of the Cupra.

Test Car magazine compared it to the 182! I thought it was going to get whopped!

Overall they said the 182 was more fun to drive and if the 182 is better then the 172, I completely agree. The performed all the usual 0 - 60 and ingear times and the Tdi was the same 0 - 60 and faster ingear.
