Mk5 Ibiza REVEALED - This is the real one!

[Mat]

This looks stunnin. Recently, I've not liked many new hot hatches, always preferred the model before it (ie, civic - hate new en, focus - hate new one, leon - new one SLOWLY growing on me), but this is one of the first new cars that I actually like. Think I is gonna be saving some pennies for one! Get a brand new cupra

Still think it looks TERRIBLE.

Something really wrong.....

good news for me though cos the Mk4 Cupra's may come down in price??

Yeah after this good looking car is out the mk4's are gonna plummet.

Only 2008 mk4's will and it wont include FR's and Cupras due to there being a gap between the end of mk4 cupra/fr production to the start of mk5 cupra/fr production.

FR coming soon?: link

5 door still looks better than outgoing 5 door.

wrong shaped bumper though, the 'mouth' is smiley, rather than the current "FR" look with the slanty sides

The back brakes d'ont look very big

The back brakes d'ont look very big

no need for big rears though, 230ish is ample

having seen pictures of this car in a car mag now I have to say that I really really like it now. Really warmed to the interior aswell. Had a word with my dealer and 3 door might be out by the end of the year or the beginning of next. Told him I wanna be one of the first people in the country with a ibiza cupra so he's gonna keep me updated.

Nothing new a!

Having seen this in real life im loving it. Really wish i couldve seen the interior but cause it was in that dodgy bodged together artic trailer thing i wasn't allowed inside it. Pictures to follow soon just uploading etc.

Had a look at it yesterday at Rockingham through the display case and I like it.

I suppose we'll need to present AdLav with his polished trophy in here... As the - "Mk5 Ibiza breaks cover" thread seems to have been closed?!? Where way back on 15th of Nov. 2007 he posted

Obviously the goods! So does anyone else believe he found it on some foreign site that he can't remember... What does AdLav do for a living anyways???!!!

I think the picture was around for a while. I'm sure that picture was originally a leon.

I E-mailed SEAT Ireland about what diesals would be available.

Dear Brian,



Thank you for your interest in the new Ibiza.



There are no plans at the moment for the Jewel Truck with the new Ibiza to come to Ireland.



We hope to launch the new Ibiza here in July. We do hope to have the 1.4 TSI engine but it will probably not be available until early next year. The range of diesel engines has not been confirmed yet but they will possibly be available yet in 1.4, 1.6 and 1.9. The Diesel engines may not be available in Ireland until December.



There are no plans at the moment for a new Cordoba.



Best regards,

 

[Leonidas]

1.6 diesal can't wait

i went in to my seat dealer in norwich today and spoke to the sales guy and he said the 3 door ibiza is going to be called a sports coupe and it's going to look abit different then the 5 door.

Found this while browsing the motoring sites yesterday...

I'll be watching progress as I still haven't made up my mind on a replacement for my 53 plate Leon yet. 3 doors seems likley as I can't remember the last time I had someone in the back seats and the 1.6 diesel sounds interesting, one of the new common rail units?

 

[Syphon]

Cool. They're using Ibiza 20VT Cupra wheels for the mule.
