Petes 16V Sport Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was waiting for this thread:more pics at http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080402.007/mi...-ibiza-revealedI like it after a while of looking at it. They have interesting only announced petrol engines. Hopefully meaning they are awaiting the new common rail 1.6TDI and 2.0TDI before they release them 3 door is expected to be more like Boganegra concept car but this isn't looking too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Looks pretty nice in the press pics, although not sure if it will look exactly like that, would be nice if it did. Someone at my local seat dealer was saying there is a seat version of the fox on its way! not sure how true that is though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 FR and Cupra versions will use more powerful versions of the 1.4 TSI unit. they are also making a tax exempt eco version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Pete, id not seen those pictures before, just the ones of the concept. It does look very nice, really like the interior. Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at my local seat dealer was saying there is a seat version of the fox on its way! not sure how true that is though? i think thats true considering the lupo and arosa concept cars due.this new seat ibiza is also the same platform for the coming new vw polo.

cardaft Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ive been wondering what i might replace the arosa with, that might be the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I quite like it, it's got a lot of potential to be a good car. However, whilst the design of the interior is very nice, the mixture of plastics looks very suspect to me - mixing blue and black together sheeesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) this new seat ibiza is also the same platform for the coming new vw polo.There is great speculation about that. The current Fabia2, five-door Ibiza and 2009 Polo are going to share the same platform as you'd expect from VAG, which is basically a lengthened version of the Fabia/Ibiza4/Polo6&7 platform.However, the rumour mill suggests the the forthcoming Audi A1 and the Ibiza three-door sport-coupé will share a variant of that platform with a multi-link rear end. That might be a tempting purchase if a high power derv version appears.From the interior pics, it looks like we'll still have to take our eyes off the road to fathom the climate control out. How long before someone Bocanegras one of these? Edited April 2, 2008 by IDGM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 More pics including "real life shots" here:http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...seat_ibiza.htmlInterior looks a little plasticy.

AndyW Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Its about the most exciting looking Seat of recent years, but thats not strictly a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Head on, it reminds me of that SAAB with the chrome Dame Edna glasses on.The more I look at the car, the more I dislike it and wallow in what could have been. However, is VERY close to the Bocanegra , but I'll wait for the official three door release before I give up all hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hmm i dont like the sideview much, hopefully the 3 door will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) they will be using a 200bhp version of the 1.4tsi for the top of the range hot model.maybe the new polo gti will get that aswell??

db Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I think i'm going to have to reserve judgement until i see it in the flesh, but for the moment the plastics inside look horrible and the lower centre console reminds me of the clio that was around when they were on 'P' registrations! I like the design though, shame they spent all their money on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
