Local dealer Parkstone has a new black sport in showroom and will have a citrus sport as a demo. Initial impressions very good. Great looker and layout good with decent size boot.
Staff who have driven cars, highly rate ride / handling etc
Shame that new engines not available yet like 1.4 TSI and dsg box, still worth the wait. VW restricting competion within group, as Polo old.
Saw a new citrus green Sport Coupe in Sidlow Gatwick, looks alot better in the metal..... even in that colour !! Interior is a real step up from the Mk4
:shrug:Hi i to went to see the new ibiza at weekend and do agree vast improvment on mk4 but such a shame their still some hard plastics around like the top sections of the inside of the doors, Think they should deffo be soft touch by now:( Just really hope the cupra will ride just a bit softer than i had on my mk4 to!!!! But reckon the sc ibiza should look superb. Dealier said they think cupra be out for feb:rolleyes: Yea we see[B)]

Just about every review I have read praises the ride and the chassis in general. They are all much less complimentary about the engines, though!

Took my mk4 in for a service at David Cooke, Chadderton today and saw a mk5 in orange being prepped there. Looked quite cool actually, reminded me of the new focus in a way- must have been the colour.
Have to say- not keen on the rear window triangle thingies though :(

We have the Cirtus 1.4 Sport with Bluetooth (Mandatory) and 17" alloys in the showroom and I have to say it does look excellent, it's one of those colours that really grows on you but there are rumours that they are holding back the Citrus for the 3 door now - we'll have to wait and see.
We have also fitted the interior styling pack t it which gives a gloss piano trim and makes it feel a whole lot classier.
Feel free to come in and have a look if you are in the area ;)
Ive booked myself in for a test drive of the new one :) Got a letter through the post offering me one since I bought my MK4 brand new
Hopefully they accept :) Will keep posted

I have done the same to our customers, they are great cars to drive, but really really looking forward to the release of the SportCoupe :D

we have two new ibiza's in the show room at JCT600 seat in leeds, a 1.4 SE in emocion and a 1.6 sport in citrus with bluetooth and 17" upgrade.
We also have a red 1.4 sport on as a demo which is available for test drive.
The car is vastly improved over the previous model, far better interior quality and design, plus the handling is very impressive.
Feel free to pop in and have a look around the cars if your local.

Thats not fair - lol, you have a demo - we just have the citrus at the moment but the others are due imminantley.
The citrus does look really good - not to sure how the orange is going to look though!

Seen the Orange one at the Eastbourne Motor Show - I think Bartletss have it at their showroom. The guy I spoke to reckoned the orange was a limited edition colour. I hope not though as it looks really smart.

I went to my local dealer today to have a peek at it. I saw a green one... and liked it... what's wrong with me?
A man came over to me and spoke unholy words. He said "Would of thought you'd be waiting for the 3 door." lolz

I saw one in luminor orange when I went on the new ibiza track day with seat uk, it was a pre production model in 5dr.
the orange and speed blue will be available when the sport coupe is launched.
Seen the 5dr now waiting with baited breath for the 3dr :p
Can't wait for the FR TDi!!

The Lumina Orange one you saw at our place was going to be one of our demos but when SEAT said they were restricting the supply of Lumina I decided to hold it back as an unsold unit. Looks bloody good with the 17" alloys doncha think! Not a bad option for only £140 they look so much meaner and fill the arches so much better than the 16's.
