My new Ibiza FR TSI DSG !!

[vtxracer]

Thanks. 2-3 yeas ago i would never consider geting a white car but since i saw that all new cars are beautiful in white, i decided to get one.

This morning, i went to my dealer. A customer was already there and was looking at a black FR that was in the showroom. He told he was interested in the specific car and would order it in 2-3 weeks. But, when he got out, he saw my car and started looking at it and 5 mins after that he got back inside the showroom and ordered one in white !!

Hi vtxracer

I was just wondering how your were getting on with your car, Im really looking forward to my fr. I'm just a bit apprehensive after all the problems are having. Have you had any?

Also I don't suppose you've got any other photos than the ones on here. I'm getting a candy white 1 too so just want to know what i'm getting

cheers in advance

Hi !
The car is excellent. I did not have any problems. Only one unimportant problem when i got it, but it was fixed within 5 minutes (just an annoying noise).
I read about many problems in this forum. In greek forums there are no problems at all with the mk5 ibiza. ( as all of them refer to diesel engines)
I do not have more photos. Did you see the pics i uploaded at the last page ? If you want something specific, just tell me and i will take some pictures.
I hope you get yours as soon as possible !!

How you getting on with the DSG now you've spent some time with it?

Are you enjoying it or are you finding 7 gears too much?

Dsg is now fully adjusted to my driving style. It changes gears very smooth and it is very relaxing in traffic. When i want to enjoy the car i use the paddles, gears are short but you get easily used to it.
Having 7 gears is good as you can use all the power from this engine and travel quiet (200km/h with 4100rpm)

Matt.

mine did exactly the same (47 pounds at 108.9). only it went up to about 260miles. stayed on 260 for a good while and is now dropping rapidly! not looked at mpg but will do and post tomorrow.

sound mate, how long or how many miles did it stay at this for?? also how may miles u done?? for a 1.4 we should be getting more?? on the website specks its about 35mpg around town and 50 extra urban, its costin me a bomb?? ok at first i was rapping it around but for the last month been taking it easy

 

[vtxracer]

On the highway i get 6.5-7 L/100 (about 45mpg) at 120-130kmh. In the city, in traffic more than 10-11L/100(about 25 mpg). If you don't drive aggresively and maintain a certain speed the range is very good. (I have traveled up to 480km on a sigle fuel tank)

Mines done just shy of 800 miles so far, getting about the same - ave 26 ish mpg, it stayed on 260 for abot 40 miles then has dipped really quickly. only done 15 miles and it has dipped by 45!!! I was thinking the same as what your dealer said. wait until i've done around 1500 and see if there is improvement. hope there is. i convinced my wife that it would be pretty good on fuel. lmao.
