Thinking about a 1.4 Sport for the wife

[Syphon]

To replace the 2.0GTI.

Just after a new car for her. The 5.7% PCP offer is quite tempting.

Anyone any thoughts on the car / offer / PCP etc?

Would keep it for 3 years and then probably take another PCP on a replacement.

Cheers,

Scott

Thinking about a 1.4 Sport for the wife !!!!

seems like a good swap!!. lol

 

[cordobabrendy]

why scot? im sure the ibiza owes you nothing by now and parts are easy to come by, change a few interior niceties and itll be like a new car.

My missus loves her 1.2S been a good car after a few initial warranty issues that kept it off the road......any reason you wouldn;t go for the 1.2sx

i have to admit the 1.2 brakes are very sharp the engine could do with another few lb/f though.

LOL @ intimidator

Brend - just after something more modern (with better safety) as littlun's in her car a lot more than in mine. Cheaper to run etc. (although of course you could argue it's not when you're then paying monthly to have it!).

Not by any means 100% decided - just thinking about it and wondered what others think.

Also as I'm getting a new car when the Cupra comes out - "it's only fair" she gets a new car as well!

i wouldnt have thought the new ibiza would be safer, im probably wrong though.

Steve, down to finance really with the good offers Seat are doing currently. We'll be taking a fairly hefty loan when the Cupra comes out I'd imagine, so don't want to have a big one on the ibiza.

If the 1.2 was on the low rate PCP we'd be looking at that.

Only concern is the mrs. will miss the power of the GTI. She was frustrated with the lack of it in the 1.6 new leon loan car we had.

then keep it and do some nice things to it (err not the missus, the car!)

 

[Ruddmeister]

So you mention that you want something cheap to run and she wants something that's better perfromance than the 1.6 Leon.

Hmmm do you think you would be better off with the Ibiza 1.9TDI PD Sport under that deal????

then keep it and do some nice things to it (err not the missus, the car!)

It's already had some nice things done. FK Suspension, strut brace, 20VT wheels, 20VT brakes and discs.

I'm not seeing the TDI sport on that offer.

Did you mean the FR?

I'll see if I can get a quote at the weekend.

Remember that the PD Sports now have the 100bhp engine - earlier Sports had the 130 (until the FR came along).

Brendy -> The Mk4 Ibiza will be safer, has got a 4-star NCAP rating - I doubt the earlier models were as safe.
Side & curtain airbags would be a good option if that's an area of priority (it would be for me). Not sure which models they are standard on and which have them as options.

Ive got side and curtain airbags on my Fr as an option(£230 iirc), its just good to know you have that extra little bit of protection in the case of an accident.

Anyone any experience/thoughts on PCP plans?

 

[spyke85]

Sister has a 1.2 and its a brilliant little car, very nippy.

Does it mean you will be selling the GTi?

Possibly. Why, would you be interested?
