Got this exactly one month ago:







Low milage for the age, very clean throughout. Just some minor bodywork scratches but for my first car I'm chuffed to bits with it biggrin

What I would love to finish it off is some genuine Seat alloys from higher up the range, like the 15s or 16s that came on the TDIs or sport models. Other than that, it's perfect.

Is it a three-cylinder 1.2?

I was driving my mates Ibiza yesterday, I was surprised how nice it felt to drive, and the little 3-pot engine made a lovely noise over 3500rpm!

Good first car, have fun but be safe!

Nice, keep it clean! Some of the Ibiza Sport alloys would look nice, would they not bump up you're insurance quote counting as 'modification' though? - The little 3-banger might be a bit weedy but by god I love it, I was looking at these and Polo's before I decided on a Megane and I've driven a few 55bhp Polo's and the noise they make is wicked, vaguely reminiscent of a Porsche Flat-Six (or is that just me?) have fun with it!
