Well following on from my earlier thread I Took a test drive in the FR TSI Manual today, and I was impressed. I really like the setup on the whole, nice firm ride without being uncomfortable, very chuckable and agile feeling, plenty of power to have some fun with too, loads of torque and...

Just had this fault code come up, car spluttered and died. Tried clearing the code and starting it again and it just dies straight away. Is there anyway if I can test if it is throttle pedal or throttle body related? Cheers

Had a test drive in the Ibiza Cupra today, wow what a quick car. Shame it was a saturday, there was too much traffic, even on the dual carriageway. Such a nice sound using the paddles and going through the gears. Kept slowing down then booting it then having to brake because I'd already caught...

There is a Roadtest of the Ibiza FR TDi on the Autocar website today. They seem to be pretty impressed with it, apart from outright performance and make complimentary remarks about the handling, which makes a change. I think there is at least one mistake, though, as they say 'for the first time...

A very good review and with the Focus Econetic in Zetec guise costing £19995 makes the Leon a bargin yet again!! "This adds aerodynamic changes to add to the mechanical ones, improves fuel economy to 74.3mpg and cuts CO2 emissions cut to 99g/km. It qualifies for free road tax in the UK and...

My wife was driving the car to work this morning when a driver overtook on a bend and met oncoming traffic. As a result her car skidded under braking left the road and stopped in a ten foot ditch helped by a tree! Car is right off but did everything it should have done crumpling up at the...

I have just bought a new one and have read you can test to see if it opens in boiling water. All I can see when I put it in the measuring jug of hot water is bubbles, wheras when it goes into a cold jug of water I get no bubbles. Not really sure as to what I should be looking for. Any...

i was fortunate to be loaned a ibiza bocanegra for a couple of days on first impression all was good it looked the biz sounds good very well spec"d good sized boot excellent build quality etc so all looked promising so it was off to drive it after a couple of miles to get used to the...

Hey guys, I've come over from the Leon side to let you guys know my opinion on the New Ibiza FR. I went into the dealers on Sunday to drop the voucher for £50 off as I recommended a friend to buy a car from there and asked if I could have a look round the Candy White FR they had. I didn't...

Looking a the photos of the Bocanegra in the review it has side skirts, their not as standard ryt? Only asking cuz the one at my dealership aint got them. Although it looks as though it should as the front and back bumper sit lower than the sides. :confused:

Hi, My Cupra has been on order since June so as soon as I found out that my dealer had a Boc, I asked for a test drive because I was concerned over the DSG gearbox. I went for the drive yesterday and was disappointed. We drove around some backstreets so I couldn't put my foot down and the...

Hello all, I just bought my first ever Seat, a 2000 Leon 1.8 20v (not t) which has done about 130.000km and has a lot of dealer stamps in the service book. I got a good price on it, or so I hope, taking into consideration the faults i know of. Thanks to what I've learned from seatcupra.net...

Hey All, Went to test drive an ECOMOTIVE Ibiza today, must say we were very impressed.. hoping to go for a White one, will keep you posted! Anybody got views/opinions? I've read a little on here, but sometimes you get a greater response when asking the whole community! For those who...
