Changing my Leon for new Ibiza SC Sport

[iandjm]

Still around 12 weeks alot of our orders have done back build weeks some of them 4 weeks!

Thats ok then. Ive had to wait 12 weeks or more for new golfs in the past too. Just hope I can get somewhere near 10k for mine. Think I will order one tomorrow

I'm the guy with the 1.9 SC that was riding high.

I didnt consider the suspension on the SC to be 'bone-shaking' at all. It rides over bumps with hardly a dull thud, even with the pro-sport Eibach springs....

Mind you, I am coming from a Smart ForFour Brabus which I owned for 3 years. Now, that is what I call 'bone-shaking', & everytime I went over a pothole, the rims had to be beat out! Those low profile tyres may look cool, but on todays roads I'd rather have the SC setup & not have to spend my time driving watching out for pot-holes!

I have the same problem with my brabus roadster the wheels are so soft

 

[K9vap]

Yah....but my tyre guy says the Brabus wheels are a quality product. He managed to straighten the original wheels every time long after an aftermarket replacement would have cracked!

 

[iandjm]

Well I have an ibiza sport on test drive for 24 hours (its the 5 door tho). I think the suspension is about right. Drives nicely. Feels as stable as my Leon. I am liking it so far. Shame the fuel filler has to be unlocked with a key, but its not the end of the world eh

You can just leave the filler cap unlocked if you wish.........

 

[iandjm]

lol I guess im too used to the golf/leon fuel filler door on the central locking

Defo, they defo look the part wouldn't change them either !

Well, I spoke to my dealer today and he said we're looking at 12 weeks for the sc sport. so their original hope of getting them through the factory quicker looks unfounded. I have a question tho, is twelve weeks from order to me having the car? or from my order to the car being built 9+2weeksish shipping etc??

Hey,

Well I have been driving around in my Ibiza sport demonstrator all evening. I love it!! It drives far better than my leon. I will try and order one tomorow. One more question.... do all SC sports have the white/light grey sections on the dashboard, along with matching inserts in the door linings? I have noticed they are shown as black in the brochure.

Cheers guys

Ian

No it would be black normaly, the white bits are part of the design pack £206

 

[iandjm]

Fantastic!


I am not that keen on the white, so black will be great

 

[iandjm]

I dropped the tinted windows today. I realised that they were the rear windows only, and on a black car it would have made it look like a van lol

Hey Canonman,

Quick question... my dealer tried to order my car on the system today and cruise does not come up as an option. he said he will have to order the car manually. is this right?

Cheers

[scoobysnax]

Me too!

I have the TFsi with 18" and hate the ride after 3 years - am I getting middle-aged?

Anyway, keeping an eye on this thread as the SC Sport has all I want, plus the 17" alloys for style but unfortunately comes with the sport suspension
