2001 Seat Ibiza Cupra review from UK and Ireland
"Stop, look, listen. Seat Cupra turbos are the best small fast car available bar the Audi S3"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This car is fantastic. The quality of the interior and the solid appearance of this car is amazing for the money. With a car this good, it really makes me wonder why companies like Renault, Citroen and Ford are still in business, selling cars more expensive and in my opinion, inferior quality.
I got my car for £11495 with 3500 miles on the clock, from the moment I test drove this car I could not believe the difference in quality from my Saxo VTS. Driving back from the dealership in my Saxo made me feel like a sardine in a tin can. The performance from the 1.8 20 valve turbo engine is out of this world and with companies selling TUV approved chip upgrades for this car, 195bhp is available for £400, and is guaranteed for 3 years and tested to 100,000 miles. The engine is Audi developed and is shared with the TT, S3 and VW Golf 1.8T.
The car turns heads and looks like it costs £18000. Fantastic. I must also mention the amazing dashboard, the best interior I have seen in any car, the large information screen and instruments light up red at night and look amazing, every passenger I have taken begs me for a go!
The only bad thing I can say about this car is that there is not a lot of room in the back, but I don't care at all!!! Brilliant.
