1992 Seat Ibiza GLX review from UK and Ireland
"One of the best car purchases I've made!! Forget your Peugeots and Fords - But a Seat Ibiza!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door trims rattled and needed replacing.
Reverse light switch broken - replaced.
Oil & oil filter change.
Engine runs jerkily at around 1500 revs - possible cause: muck in the carb or the engine may require tuning.
Coolant temperature gauge not working, any sugguestions?
General comments?
Surprisingly quick for a 1193cc engine, goes as fast as my old 'D' reg Pug 205 XS 1.4!!
Body roll is terrible - need uprated suspension.
It's a VW bottom with System Porsche top engine.
Excellent economy 50MPG!! Better than some diesels!!
Body fully galvanised so minimal rust!
Good car for a grand!!
