Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Ibiza FR 1.4 EcoTSI ordered
- Thread starter markm49uk
- Start date
It is very strange - it's not a budget car so you would expect the electric windows really, especially in the higher trim levels like the FR.
Yes today is the day - dealer emailed me saying it arrived to them yesterday and will be ready as expected today.
Just waiting for a time.
Well I've got it. Omg it's a rocketship.
Build quality is fantastic and everything is solid. I'm more than happy with the interior (those manual window winders though!).
The CarPlay works ok - few little gremlins but that may be more me than the car so will report back on this later once I've had more time.
Some initial photos for you:

What is your overall opinion on how it pulls ? and I've found with mine it's getting quicker more kilometres I drive lol
I live close to Germany no speed limits on there motorway I'm going to try it out in the summer
It shocked me to be honest - I wasn't expecting it to be so quick.
The steering is very precise too and it grips well.
Very happy.
Well I hope you enjoy the car and also hope you don't get caught speeding.
Are the back windows electric ?
Standard here are electric

Was thinking that myself although I'm fairly sensible in the city and obey the speed limits.
Excellent, looks really nice! Glad you're enjoying it, safe to say it was worth the wait? 
Mine has developed a little rattle passenger side. Can't tell if it's the door, the seat mechanism, the seat itself or some trim.
On another note, I've taken mine up and down the Rev range and really love sport mode on the DSG. I can see it staying in that for most of its life
217 miles on the clock

The ones I'm most interested in are:

-Lap timer
I'm disappointed to see that the option to turn off cornering fogs isn't there. I might message their support and see if it can be added.
