My Clio has gone, replaced by this

[seren 182]

Seat Ibiza FR 2.0 TDI

 

[Ian_182]

Nice cars,but you need darker wheels to pull the yellow off.

 

[Zorr]

Hmm I love the design of new Ibizas but I have driven the Cupra 1.4 TSI 180ps - hmm comparing to the MK 3 200 it is far behind. I was quite tempted by this FR especially when I looked on MPG - such a nice performance and such a low mpg.

 

[Cal182]

Pics of inside?

 

[adele_90]

Oooh i like that

 

[Alan]

200 over that EVERYDAY of the wk..

 

[ForceIndia]

Sorry, but are people comparing a petrol hatch with high running costs to a diesel? A 5 dr diesel?? Good choice for a warm hatch.

 

[seren 182]

Thinking of getting black wheels later as I think it would look better but I'd best let the wife get used to it before I broach this subject with her. I've got through my mid-life crisis which is why I've gone for this over a faster petrol car, could save well over a grand a year on running costs, that's a lot extra towards my retirement savings.

 

[Alastair.]

whats the figures on one of them

[daydotz]

yum how does it drive ive been looking at them

 

[Ian_182]

If it goes wrong you could have run a bentley for a year...

Not pushed it yet but picks up well, floored the one I had the test drive in and it was pretty rapid. Firm ride but not as hard as the clio, very comfortable for us old folk (50ish). Steering is a bit light but we'll get used to it. Only had it a couple of days but overall very pleased.

 

[Iain C]

Makes me feel sleepy. My friend has a silver one is a 1.6 petrol. Mabye the diesel is more interesting

 

[_Tom]

Map map map! My mate has just done his PD130 and its a MASSIVE difference. Gets 60+ MPG now too.

The new Ibiza has grown on me although I don't love that colour. They go well - better with a remap!

Nice, definatley needs the darker wheels.

As for the steering, the assistance can be adjusted

 

[mat-nos]

nice, needs black wheels though!!

how much did/is it costing you on finance if you dont mind me asking......

 

[Tunst]

Dont like the rear end of these,..

 

[Dave..]

LOL at people banging on about getting it mapped.

Warranty? Void? Daft?

I'll get it done but it will be when the warranty has expired.

Paid cash, sorry. There are some advantages to being a bit old (not too many though).

 

[SC03OTT]

I like it and I like the colour as well. Someone near me has a black three door and it looks really good. Got any interior shots? I find that's where Seat falls down a bit.

 

[ChrisH]

I've looked at these as i'm doing 450 miles a week in the 200 at the minute, which is costing a little bit too much!

How much did you pay for it? If you don't mind me asking

 

[Ben.]

smart looking car, i really want the cupra version

List price I'm afraid, £17k, but I got a decent deal on the trade-in.

Haven't got any interior pics but this link shows some, got the cloth seats not leather. Quality isn't bad, doesn't have any annoying squeeks which was more than could be said for my Clio. http://www.seat.co.uk/generator/su/com/IbizaFR09/site/gallery/main.html

 

[Ben.]

I knew these werent cheap but £17K!

Thats mental

 

[seren 182]

New Clio 1.6 dCi 106HP Initiale Tom Tom is over £18k. I know which one I prefer, and it's cheaper.

Thanks for the info, don't think i'd pay that much for it though. Some negotiating required for me.

 

[seren 182]

Depends what you get if you trade something in.

 

[ROB91]

good choice there mate, lovley car
