2001 Seat Ibiza Cupra review from United Arab Emirates
"Cheap good looking performance vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Internal door trim (handles) paint easily removed specially in hot climates.
-Dealers in this region are not up to the level that this brand requires.
-The engine power is greatly reduced a high ambient temperatures. Need bigger inter-cooler.
-Steering leather started peeling off.
-The hinge cover of both front seat broke. I think they should be designed differently.
General comments?
Love the car. I will keep it for a long time. Masses of power hidden under the hood. Excellent handling, steering response, and top speed. There are only 4 or 5 vehicles in this country.
