1997 Seat Ibiza GTi review from UK and Ireland
"She is sex on four wheels!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ECU decided to pack up, which in turn ruined the fuel pump and ignition barrel.
General comments?
Having owned my little Ibiza for just over two years now I can safely say I love it!
Having lowered her, added some cool M3 mirrors, a DTM Janspeed exhaust, and shed loads of ICE, she is a real head turner.
The guys in the other reviews ain't lying. Even though I have experienced some pretty bad problems, I love the car so much I just carry on.
Saxo's, XR3i's, and the like don't stand a chance.
My advice is that if you can get hold of one, do it... you won't regret it!
