Mk5 Ibiza REVEALED - This is the real one!

[MarkE]

Hmm, change of wheels and a bit of subtle bodykit stretching later :

 

[G!zmond0]

Do you think the negra kit will be on the cupra ?

 

[M1KEH]

Shorter 3dr look lowered and bumpers coloured at the bottom

 

[Cupra Kid]

Looks ford focus-ish from the front and Fiat Brava-ish from the rear and like a 1 series from the side. Don't like the sloping dash whatsoever.

The concept was great, the real thing is far from it. First thing i thought when i saw it was 'I dont want that'.

 

[G!zmond0]

Looks like sh.tTry something with the rims

looking at the rear from the side longer anyone else get the 206 look to it?

I like actually, looks a damn site better than the spyshots, the cupra should look nice, just hope they don't go down the VXR overstyled look!

Why couldnt they have just made the negra....everyone would have been happy then

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I hope its a grower cos don't like it atm.

Loving it! Was going to consider a Leon or Golf for the next car so I can get the mountain bike in, but if this is slightly larger I am very tempted! Lack of news on any diesels though at the moment, not going to even consider a petrol!

 

[ZBOYD]

Diesels are coming though, the car doesn't officially launch until later in the year. If you look at the white car, its got TDI on the wing.

Without any doubt the 5 door mk5 Ibiza is going to be my next car. I love that speedometer and rev counter:

Well spotted Z! I can't even see that!

Seems like the Hot FR and Cupra models will be 1.4 TSI units, although I hear that the 1.4 TSI can produce in standard form 200 BHP in some forthcoming VAG models.

because they're doing the 5 door 1st

I'm reliably informed the 3 door isn't "just" a 5 door with less doors....

Not so keen on the shape but I think the interior looks good.

They are having a giggle. 1.4TSI yeah right. The only thing that would even slightly make this seem accurate is the fact that the intereferring, pretend tree hugging, stealth taxing governments of the EU, in particular the UK is making it expensive to run anything that spits out over 160g of c02 per mile.

Cant see the 1.4 making it, especially seeing as a VW boss said the 170hp version was unreliable and expensive.

they all have the same data as us.... anything else is speculation

And if you want a lesson in speculation just read the April Fool article we did yesterday.
