2005 Seat Ibiza FR review from UK and Ireland
"Crazy little turbo hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Few rattles in the cabin (including the drivers seat at times).
General comments?
Lovely car to drive, has superb handling!
Turbo whistle very addictive. Very responsive with barely any turbo lag.
Twin exhaust gives a lovely deep burble when your waiting at traffic lights.
Plant your foot down and it feels like its going into warp speed!. This car puts a smile on my face on the way to work (even on a Monday morning!)
Extremely comfortable, seats have about the right amount of support. Seats also look v sporty.
Build quality not bad (can see some room for improvement in parts).
