1997 Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Very good, but you must put up with a lot of design problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust has all been replaced, steering rack and column also.
Passenger's airbag has been modified to stop noises.
Seat belts replaced due to non returning.
Dront engine mount replaced.
Clutch cable replaced every 10,000 mile service.
General comments?
The car all in all, and is very competent, but under heavy breaking it squirms a lot.
Far too many small problems with squeaks and rattles.
Poor part standards.
Very poor dealer service, but getting a lot better.
