Si_GTi Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Sorely tempted in 6 months time Flat tyre indicator? Isn't that the flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap noise that your knackered tyre makes when it's deflated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I wait and see if they have sorted the chassis compared to its cousins the Ibiza FR and ibiza Cupra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 What's up with them then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 My own opinion is there too hard, crashy, too much suspension noise. The FR is not too bad but the cupra is another matter. Also lack of steering feel. Im a Huge SEAT fan owned 2 and my family mainly own SEATs now rather than the expensive VW badge versions (they mainly had VWs and Audis before) but the new Ibiza FR and cupra just did not do it for me after a few test drives i really really wanted to like the Cupra mainly as i loved its looks and was going to buy a cupra TDI until i had it on test for 24h i decided i just could not live with it everyday. Shame as the FR and Cupra versions go well and handle okish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the specifications and prices are finalised by VW, I won't know if trading up to the newer car will be viable, but I sure hope it is! I want one*!! *it's gotta have xenons though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
