105bhp for a new 1.6 16v is dissapointing, given 1.6's of the my cordy's era were bashing out 100bhp
I think it looks a lot better in the photos in that article than most of the ones I've seen before. It looks quite chunky. The hotter three door versions should look rather good.
& how long till the 3 door cupra?
End of the year according to Autocar mag.
For a moment I got excited...Its really really smooth and quite.
But then I read that. I'd be all over this car if they've managed to dampen that TDI down to reasonable dB levels. I test drove the Skoda Fabia Combi TDI and oh boy was it noisy because of the engine. I don't need a bigger car than that but if I want a more silent one, I'm forced to step up a class just because of the better sound insulation.It was only a 1.2

I will write EXACTLY what it says.
"Ibiza's not a three-door, it's a sportscoupe. SEAT calls calls its three door Ibiza the Ibiza Sport Coupe and, while it's not exactly a coupe, it does get a lower roofline than the five-door and more of the Bocanegra concept car's loooks.
It's 17mm lower than the five-door and gets a different front end with new headlights, a new radiator grille and a smaller rear window. This car will form the basis of the FR and Cupra versions of the new Ibiza, due later this year."
