I really like the looks, so why not put in this pic from the area around the Nurburgring where we had our hotel, beautiful smile

Dont like the ride height though, if it werent a leasing car i would have it lowered imidietly, if it were possible to adjust the alignment of course. The wheels also look a bit boring, again, if it were "mine" it would have black wheels smile. It looks pretty cool on black steel wheels for the winter tyres.

What is wrong with a manual gear box? Unless it had to be 'DSG' to help with achieving a reasonable MPG figure?
It's been like this for the past 3-years, the highest power 1.4 TSI these cars use can only be combined with the DSG 'box - no manual choice is available. Doesn't look like it will change any time soon.

Alternative will be the cylinder on demand 1.4 TSI. This lacks the supercharger and as such only offers 140PS, but it does come with a 6-speed manual. So far confirmed in the Audi A1 Sportback and Polo BlueGT but it's likely SEAT will offer the Ibiza with that engine at some point and it will also probably eventually filter it's way down to Skoda.

That has to be amongst the most unimaginative boring looking boxes called a car next to the Nissan Micra

Sorry big fat zero from me.

Looks okay, the colour makes it stand out a bit, but it is a bit bland too. Interior is rubbish though.

Argh......what was wrong with the MK5 as it was it looked awesome... Seat have a history of face lifting the Ibiza and hurting resale values and for the most part they got it right. but they've just made the MK5 look so boring front the front now. at least they havn't changed the mean looking back. The front of my MK4 cupra looks better than that!

With respects to the new models the MK1 Leon cupra Looks far better than the MK2

Look an awful lot like a Ford hatchback.. which means it looks good, but where's the imagination?

I'm pretty sure it's called the 'NEW' Ibiza Cupra because this range of Ibiza is known as the 'New' Ibiza rather than A new Ibiza?
