The JD Power Survey seems like a load of shite to me.... They classes the Polo as having 4/5 for interior, and Ibiza as 3/5. WHAT WORLD ARE THEY LIVING ON? The Polo's interior has fallen out of the 80's!

its more on quality than style, which on this case i agree with the survey as the polo interior is far superior in terms of quality but lacks style

Still much more appealing than the nasty Polo shite... My friend has an 07 Polo and in my opinion it lets the whole of the car down! I thought "ew...." when I sat in it, wayyy prefer mine.

The saying "the grass is always greener on the other side" is certainly not true :p

I think it's coz the 206 loses all it's power over the years whereas a quality german car maintains it's original BHP better :p

I'm having an HID nightmare atm
they've blown my 15A fuses, they are apparently 12V... HMMM?!?!?
they were amazing when I have them,

I have photos of dipped beam with 2x halogens and another with 1x HID (since one went whilst driving :S !) and you can see the difference
want me to post?

this is why i am skeptical about getting hids, if it goes tits up i am not good with electrics so could end up in disaster!

right its that time again :lol: were i need to ask more questions about my lil bezza

my car has 8 speakers (someone said that was an optional extra...shame the 1st owner didnt by alloys rather than more speakers) is it easy to replace and upgrade them?

cupra seats, saw on a different thread and they looked really nice, how easy is it to fit a set of new front seats and back bench seat? (i guess easily but just want some more advice encase its a pig of a job)

how easy is it to fit coilovers?

cheers guys :) hopefully when i start getting good wage and have passed my test (on the 22nd Nov btw!!) the mods will be coming thick and fast....might buy the new head unit soonish :)

8 speakers is really only 4 speakers and 4 tweeters. That's standard buddy! The rear ones I think are just a straight swap but you need 16.5cm speakers to fit the hole perfectly. The front ones required adaptors, which you can buy cheaply here.

Again, it's best to fit 16.5cm speakers in the front too. The tweeters are just a straight swap. I recommend fitting a more powerful head unit before changing the speakers, purely because the standard head unit isn't powerful enough. You could fit an amp if you wanted but personally I'm happy with the power my Pioneer head unit gives the speakers.

Cupra seats are a straight swap mate, obviously you can't plug the airbags in but who needs them? :p I know where there's a set going for £200. ;)

Never fitted coilovers so I don't know, but plenty of people on here have done it, I think it depends how good you are with a socket set and spanners.

Best of luck with the test, man.
