Re: what do you thinl of the seat ibiza

Punto is Italian, Ibiza is made from old Voltswagen parts, need i say more!

Re: what do you thinl of the seat ibiza

The Ibiza has less leg room in the back than my cinq does! New shape one that is...


They have great engines in them now and the TDi's Fly for a diesel...

Re: what do you thinl of the seat ibiza

I live in Barcelona, Spain, and here, most people buy the inpersonal VAG Ibiza, I prefer Punto mk2, or mk2b Sporting instead of Ibiza.

Punto is a better car, in my opinion

Re: what do you thinl of the seat ibiza

Ibiza FR it's not comparable with HGT.....

HGT its similar to 206 gti's.... the FR goes near the 180hp!!!!!

The only Ibiza I like are the FR and Cupra versions, the standard Ibiza sucks.... I don't like it

Why not compareable?

Is the HGT not the top of the range punto?

Is the FR not the top of the range ibiza?

Both designed with the same people in mind so I would say they are!

Re: what do you thinl of the seat ibiza

THought you picked the clio?

THe cupra is well above the HGT but the FR appears to not be far off....though I assume it can be tuned much higher having a turbo.
