heyhey! im considering on selling my ibiza and buy a LCR is this a smart move? :)

what engine tuning choices do i have with the 210bhp engine? Any easy big turbo swap?

How is the comfort and insidecar noice?

Did some models come with navigation ?

Am i right when i say theres possible to change the 323mm discs with bigger ones, still using original brembo calipers?

how much is the car using mpg chipped?

How is the comfort and insidecar noice? pretty average in car noise, comfort is good :)

Did some models come with navigation ? yes; with a different double din console

Am i right when i say theres possible to change the 323mm discs with bigger ones, still using original brembo calipers? yes, bill at badger 5 can supply 330mm 2 piece discs with custom caliper spacers :)

how much is the car using mpg chipped? i get ~15-20 when driving hard and 30+ when driving sensibly.

yes, rare; but you can buy the double din console from the dealers for £200 so that you can fit any double din radio

i'm 6ft2" and I can fit my dad behind me when i'm driving, he is also 6ft +.. it is not spacious in these conditions, but it is not uncomfortable either!
