Mk5 Ibiza REVEALED - This is the real one!

[EenyMac]

Im not too happy about this bodykit. It has too many bocanegra styling cues in it and therefore I worry it will look too similair to the cupra.

...but in a 5 door package. There are people out there who will want a sportier looking model but with the added practicality of a 5 door.

Aero kits generally are meant to make the car look cupraesque.

what about the leon aero kit makes it look like a cupra? :S Same again with the mk4 ibiza kit? :S

 

[M1KEH]

cupraesque means looks like a cupra mate.

watch this and see what you think of the handling.

I like the look of the mk5, i think the interior is a step backwards but i suppose they cant tread on the VW toes with the Golf. The FR and Cupra models should liven things up.

Is it me or does the grill look a bit skoda?

I see in the 4Car review they say they are disappointed with the interior quality. A pity, as that's the only part you see when you are driving it.

 

[Leonidas]

But in other reviews they talk about how quality is very good and up on the last one.

 

[m0rk]

that shows how bad the interior quality is seen on the Mk4

 

[CHR15B]

I think the Mk4 Interior is dreadful, they couldn't do any worse.

Only seen pictures so far and looks good. A good deveplopment from the Mk4. Got to go Milton Keynes in July for a Showing of the car at the training centre. Have a little drive and compare to rest of market.

 

[vinocolapso]

any ideas as to whet the 3 door is going to look like?

 

[ramnation]

"The Ibiza is the first car to use VW Group’s new small car platform, codenamed BQ35, which will also provide the basis for the next generation VW Polo and the new Audi A1."

Make that PQ25... Leaves you wondering what else they're clueless about!
One more reason I'll wait for some real conformation. That they've made some significant changes from the PQ24 platform. To help sort out the reason why many are convinced that the IbizaV is the 1st to use the PQ25 chassis & not the FabiaII !!!

For those that haven't noticed this yet.

Makes some sense as to what they've modified. Yet I'd still like some pics to compare!!! Let me know if anyone can oblige.

 

[vinocolapso]

can't wait to see a 3 door cupra version!
& then compare it to the new Alpha Mito
when that appears!!

I'm gonna wait for the end-of-life models...these will be the true stars! (especially the FR & Cupra with extra spec ) CHEAPER TOO

May just have something here... Have heard rumors that the IbizaIV may be rebadged as the Ibiza-Jr. & soldier on along side the IbizaV! Much like the Octavia-Tour does with the OctaviaII...
