IHI you pussies, yeah its a spannish piece of crap but its also a great looking car for the money, everyone seems to of become blinkered and thinks that its only the ibiza that has dubious build quality! Bear in mind as well the limit to the repair bills the ibiza can stand you for, if the RX7 blows up, or the M3 varnos dies then your looking at a whole load of ****!

Carl, the points you make are exactly where I come to a hault.
3k and quick but 3k thats straight down the pan, and I know things will still piss me off with it. I wouldn't sell for another FWD car though, AWD or RWD next for sure

Warning To Anyone Thinking About Using Engineshop, Cardiff!

hey ppl, only just found this thread or i would have posted sooner.
Got a 2.0 16v mk2 cupra sport running at 198bhp, well it was until the engine decided to develop several petrol, oil and coolant leaks.

Just wondering wherer the best place is to get it rebuilt in the south wales area. Got the job done by engineshop, cardiff who f**ked it up even more n now im in the middle of taking them to court to get my £1200 back.
