Mike_M Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you want a bigger boot and engine then YES!If you want a bigger engine only then get the Arosa/Lupo version and transfer all your mods across to the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) depends how cheap it is, private good condition for a 1.4 3dr sport 05plate with 10K miles is about £6K. A better drive than your Arosa and easier to live with, depends what you want though, not a huge performance increase but still only group 4 ins and should be cheap to run and easier to sell on.

Crusoe Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 came with cd and climate control, cruise was a £90 option i think so not worth much second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 What are you going to gain by changing? And how much will it cost you to change?Personally, I wouldn't bother, decent little spam chariot that Ibiza, I'd have one, but what does it give you that you don't have now. From your posts your obviously not needing a larger car for a family, so why not change for something you really fancy, as opposed to something that just seems like a good idea.

AndyW Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey, if you want to change, go for it, but if your already not sure, then your obviously not that keen. I'm guessing its going to cost you a fair bit to change too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I had a 05 reg Ibiza 1.2 3 cylender SX for three months from the seat garage while mine was in getting its engine. I liked it, i was a bit sad to so it go IMH i covered about 4,000 miles in it and it was quite nippy for a 1.2, but i have heard that this is the best engine to go for, best blend of economy and acceleration and is also in group 3 insurance i think. I went from Newcastle to Dover and back in one day - nearly 700 miles and it was very comfortable with the climate etc, didnt have cruise though. I would have bought it but it was dark grey and a 5 door so i didnt but it was a nice car though. Edited February 1, 2006 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) ...is my rosa 1.0 much more fun?exactly... 1.0 Arosa easy to lose traction when you want, (love the understeer on the Broxden and Inveralmond roundabouts for those who know Perth) but easy to get it back again... ** edited to say "or maybe I haven't pushed it that far yet!" **Fun little car to drive if hammered, sensible if driven well... hmmm... sensibly!If I was going for fun I would stay with the Arosa Lupo and go up in horsepower...BTW... anyone dropped a Lupo GTi lump into an Arosa??

Grapo Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If the 1.4 16v is anything like my 1.2 Ibiza i used to have dont even bother using the climate control, the damn car wont bloody move!They are decent cars though. Handling is a bit vague because the steering is so light however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
