Any owners?

Im thinking of one of these as a cheap cheerful family hack and i suspect values will fall when the new ibiza is available..the stats look ok but wonder how they cope with longer motorway runs.

I have no experience of small engined turbos (im used to large na engines) but as i do low mileage the small turbo might be the way to go..


thanks

Don't know about the Ibiza but my wife has a Skoda Citigo 75 BHP. Handles motorway runs with ease, including uphill gradients. Cruises along really well at legal limits and it always startles other drivers when overtaking in the appropriate lanes. Surprises me too. Small turbo engines seem to be the direction a lot of manufacturers are going......you won't regret it. MPG will surprise you too!

Thanks,


My son has recently bought a new citigo 75hp (waiting on delivery) and the test drive proved it to be quite nippy,the skoda fabia 1.2 tsi and seat 1.0 eco tsi both have 110hp which seems plenty in a small car..

I know these cars are not very ph but car enjoyment has hit a all time low for me lately and a cheap and cheerful hack will suffice and i can always get something a bit more fun if and when..
