2001 Seat Ibiza Cupra review from UK and Ireland
"A great fast fun car, but wish I bought an Audi or VW!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of internal rattles, the dashboard and around car radio padded out with foam.
Had a replacement radio after 1 month.
Had 2 replacement speakers after 2 months.
Had door locking problem, mainly drivers side, would lock me i. I had to climb over the passanger seat to get out!!. Dealer did not believe me until he checked a similiar on a website regarding a standard ibiza, infact it's a common seat problem on this range!!
Leather is poor quailty had lots of rips.
Generally the dealer QA of the vehicle before I collected it was non existence!!
The dealer seems to let monkeys loose inside my car each time it goes to the garage, as it comes out with different problems that they have caused.
I have just owned the car over 12 months and it had been the gargage over 6-8 weeks in total.
The build quality is pretty poor I must have got a friday afternoon or monday morning car.
As for my dealer they try and try...
General comments?
The car mechanically is super and handles really really well.
The poor dealer backup lets it down.
The cabin is great and really nice matching red/black interior looks great!!
