Other cars Ibiza Cupra TDI

vtidan · 19th June 2007, 16:16

Did any of you guys and gals consider or test drive one of the 06 Ibiza cupra TDI 160's before purchasing your civic? I just wondered how it compared (or didnt compare as the case may be) as they are 160bhp and similar torque to the civic but on paper they are about a second quicker to 60mph (not the be all and end all I know)

The Leon is a closer competitor than the Ibiza, good cars but the interior is pants

Went to the local SEAT garage and was looking at a new altea xl but the salesman insisted I look at the Leon they had on the forecourt which was older than my car I was PXing and was automatic we got straight back in the focus and drove away with him watching us from the window

NO WAY this was before I ordered the civic!

Was interested in an Ibiza 1.8T FR, because it was quick and my leasebudget wasn't that great. After test driving the Civic, the Ibiza was not an option anymore, same as the Fiesta ST.

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. I tried a NEW Ibiza FR TDI last year. It looked nice with its 17's and subtle bodykit but the power of the 130BHP TDI PD engine was ON or OFF. It wasnt a smooth power delivery like on the 2.2 Honda diesel engine. I tried an Accord CTDI Tourer a month or so ago and was impressed with the smoothness. It went OK but being the tourer it was a heavy car. Have yet to try the civic but should be driving one tomorrow and this weekend.
