2006 Seat Ibiza Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A Spanish senorita that will have you hooked"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I went and bought this car after my Peugeot 306 D Turbo finally decided to finally pack up.
I couldn't believe the torque the car had on the test drive and ordered on that day.
The interior is very comfy and rather quite "swish". The dials light up red which I feel is a nice touch. There have been reviews of the interior build quality, but I have not heard a rattle in 18k miles and 14 months of ownership.
The performance is where this car does the talking. I bought the 100bhp version mainly because of cost and have found it to be quite quick. But I soon got a little bored and took it for a remapped ecu, the new power is unbelievable and is now pushing about 140bhp with a lot more torque which gives my cousins BMW 530i a run for it's money. 0 -60 in just over 7 seconds. Not bad for £200.
Basically if you want a car that is reliable, quick, fun to drive and a lot cheaper than it's VW cousin then this is the car for you. It is affordable in both running costs (average 48mpg) and tunablilty.
