The FR is a lovely car....much better than the 130 sport....but the Cupra is nicer than the FR. You get the different bumpers....the black roof linings....the different suspension....wheels....power! FMIC....you don't notice until you don't have one! :lol:

All the diesels map nicely. Even the ickle 1.4tdi you can get to around 100bhp I believe....the pd100 to about 130 and the 130 to about 180 before clutch issues.

Keep the Golf spend your money on suspension upgrades so it feels sharper and less boat like.

Keep the Golf, the 150 and 160 engine aren't too dissimilar. Get a decent remap and some new gas shocks and springs and you'll be fine. Lowering a Golf too much means you need new aftermarket anti roll bar links, and they're not cheap.

The Golf is a much better car than the Ibiza, the Fabia has a similar build quality to the Golf but its smaller, has white seats and the 130bhp engine.

Someone I know has an 04 Fabia vRS with 70k on it, and it has less rattles and less plastic scratches than my 04 Ibiza with 10k on it!
