Hi everyone.

I have a dilemma at the moment, Im struggling to make my mind up between the VAG 20v Turbos:

Ibiza, A3, Golf or Octavia RS.

Am I right in thinking the Ibiza is 156Bhp standard?

Are they all 1/2 leather with air con?

Is cruise retro fittable?

How well do they resond to the APR/Revo type remaps?

Thanks for any thoughts on ownership.

Thanks and rgds

Am I right in thinking the Ibiza is 156Bhp standard? YES

Are they all 1/2 leather with air con? YES AND YES

Is cruise retro fittable? YES

How well do they resond to the APR/Revo type remaps? VERY WELL!

Revo or APR will get you about 200bhp. Cruise is also available from Revo at the same time.

Very quick once chipped (Mine's Revo'd), but suspension and brakes could do with being uprated.

Thanks,

Sounds like theres not much between any of the VAG 1.8T cars.

Just down to personal preference I guess as the specs are so similar.

Forgot to ask about Traction < standard or option?

What sort of cash will buy me a sub 40k miler?

Thanks again

TCS is std on all of them I believe.
ESP etc is not on Ibiza. (optional on others)

Ibiza is lightest hence most power to weight of them.
