Advice On New Ibiza FR

[collegeboy09]

Hi

Iv just been looking at getting the new fr and was wanting a bit of advice really. Are there any particular things i should have put on or left off

Any info would be great

Personally I would go for the xenons and the alarm.
Not that much on the configurator to be honest, you can get sunroof also things like bluetooth and ipod stuff.
Perhaps the armrest,
Oh and the mats which are essential....
It already comes with (I am guessing) dark tinted rear windows, folding mirrors and esp/hill hold and climate

i'd not bother with the alarm personally, it has an immobiliser, and all an alarm does is annoy the neighbours when it goes off.
+1 mats, can't believe they dont come as standard, at least cheap thin ones and have the nice deep ones as an extra, but hey ho.
+1 armrest.
cruise control to keep safe through average speed check cameras

only other things would be the styling touches like door sills or different alloys.

1) An armrest is usefull.
2) Folding mirrors are not standard but not nessesary (but very cheap)
3) You can get the special rear view mirror which gets darker when lights of another car become annoying.
4) Do not get leather seats. Not so good quality and they don't have the FR/Cupra badges. (If they were like the Leon FR, they would be beautiful...)
5) If you like listening to music, get the USB port.

What color do you want your FR ??
See some pics of mine to decide.

Candy white is an excellent choice
Yous should get the armrest and the door Sill Guards as i did.
Also ask your dealer if he could give you (as a gift) the mats (with the ibiza logo) and an FR keyring..
You could see photos of these from the links i posted above.

i wouldnt count on the mats m8 cause all the boys who have bought the ibiza mk5 never got mats and they where brand new cars

I got mats. These

 

[collegeboy09]

Their nice ones, expensive tho, i had a look at the link you posted, i cant believe they charge that for car mats, i'm going back to the dealer some time next week to test drive the car. so il be having a word and getting them put in

Whats the car like to drive, seein as the car isnt actually released in the uk yet iv just ordered it on looks

The mats were a gift Ask your dealer to give them to you for free

The car is very very nice to drive. It is fast and has a lot of torque. The only bad thing is that the 7 speed DSG does not have Launch control.

All sounds good, is a shame about the launch control but o well, cant have everything i suppose I just wanna drive one now

Its gonna be a pain waiting, i was reading my forms earlier and they reckon the End of November, Im hoping before that

 

[nightflight]

they reckon the End of November, Im hoping before that

consider that a conservative estimate and make plans to pick it up mid december

 

[collegeboy09]

all too true, im hoping before christmas it'l be here but from some of the posts iv read about them giving a date and actually sticking to it.

I still havent driven one yet, im looking forward to a test drive, typical of the uk to be last getting a release

The waiting list is long but its worth it !! Candy white is the best colour in all the new Ibiza SC's. I agree with vtxracer..You should get the sill guards. I got my dealer to put them and the mats into the deal..made it just a little sweeter for me !!!

What all options you order in the end...Xenons are a cool feature and they really look good on the white car!!

I'm also waiting for a FR candy white ..ordered June and still waiting.

[vtxracer]

Ordered in june and still waiting ? It was supposed that everybody who ordered an fr/cupra in june or july could get it on August or the first week of September. I ordered mine in june and got it in early august.
Anyway, very good choise. Candy white is perfect especialy with the titanium rims

 

[ian-mac]

Think its different here..i'm in the UK and dont think many left hand drive have made yet..I ordered mine when they were first released here..your very lucky getting it so quickly..Hopefully mine will be looking as good as yours..except I wont have the sunshine like you have in your pictures!!

Nice Choice of alloys!!

another quick question regarding equipment that comes as standard, now i know it isnt really equipment as such but does the fr come with a storage box under the drivers seat, iv got one currently and there really handy

Cheers

 

[vtxracer]

i think it has a storage box but i am not sure. (i think only passengers seat has ?) I have never used it in any car.
And also, the rims i have are standard for the fr so everyones fr will have them.
