Ibiza MPG

[andy15star]

Cheers Gary, that's a little worrying that they can charge just what they want, although £99 is very reasonable. I have to get it done at a SEAT garage to keep the warranty in order but wouldn't you think all SEAT owned garages would be forced by SEAT to charge a standard price !

Regards,
Andy

My MPG

I have a 1.4SE, I have been averaging about 37mpg during the week (I drive about 60 miles a week).

I drove it Norwich and back yesterday (about 320 miles), on the way down I averaged 52.7, and on the way back I got 44.3. Which I think was pretty good.

Well i have the 1.6 Sport and i do about 250+ miles a month and i'm averaging about 37mph (home to work is 18 miles of minor A roads), although if i drive it really carefully i have gotten 43mpg from it...never had more than 43.1mpg on a run (over a decent distance). I was a little disappointed on the mpg as i'm sure the book had said WELL over that !, although i suppose they test their cars in dust free, air free, friction free environments where there are no kids in the back, nothing in the boot, air con off, lights off and everything which uses the battery switched off !

Sold my tdi yesterday so I can;t see what I can get on a really good run but the best I got from it was 57 mpg

Hi Canonman the car is running ok now clocked up neraly 500miles and averaging 44mpg which I think is good for a 1.4 sport that is being used as a Learner Car

Hiya pete

Glad the car is running fine. Give it a few more miles and it will give you abit more mine had 2800 when I sold it.

Really nice spec your sport, nice extra's

What MPG are you getting from your mk5 1.4 sports?
just asking as i think my display is playing up
driving sensibly round town i was getting 28MPG
shurely thats not right?

hi, i've had my ibiza 1.4sport for just over a year with 6000miles on the clock. recently just had my 1st service (£155). to be honest, i'm pretty dissapointed with the car, from the very start ive been in and out of the dealers with problems. electric windows failing, leaking and squeaky window seals, leather steering wheel falling apart after only 100miles. these have been sorted now, however the most annoying thing is the fuel gauge. from day 1 it has had a mind of its own. sometimes, even after filling up, the gauge will read empty/0miles, and continue to display this for a day or two. other times the screen goes completly blank so its impossible to know how much petrol ive got at all. when it does work it fluctuates wildly; the fuel range dropping by 100miles sometimes after only traveling 20miles ???!! ive been to the dealers about 6-7 times about this to no avail. ive counted 6 courtesy cars ive had to have (bearing in mind this is a brand new car). the best reading ive had off a full 45litre tank is about 260miles. that is not good mpg im guessing, if the reading is correct that is. can anyone help?

dunno mate, i've got a 1.6crtdi sport, and round town im only getting 280-300 miles from a tank full. i do have a bit of a lead foot as i'm still getting used to having so much torque on demand, and it feels a shame to let it go to waste, but on a motorway run it'll do 50+ so i don't think theres anything majorly wrong with mine, other than my driving style

As much as it pains me to say this,
Your like the Beta Testers of the new Ibiza range, In 2-3 more years they'll release a revised version with all the fixes and call it a "Facelift"
They do it on all VAG Cars.
I'm not saying its right, just the way it is sadly.
