Seat Ibiza Estate????? - SEAT Cupra.net

23-07-2003, 10:40

Hi all,

my work colleague who lives in Gillingham in Kent just said to me he saw a Seat Ibiza estate, like mine but obviously with the longer estate back to it!

i never knew they bought out an estate version, if so they must be extremely rare as i have never ever seen one!!

its rare enough that i see a Seat Ibiza GTI round my way, let alone an estate version!!!

anyone else seen one or has see one which is modified, anyone got any pics to show?

*cordobabrendy* · 23-07-2003, 10:41

is actually a cordoba vario
ill see if i can get a pic up.

**andyb** · 23-07-2003, 10:43

was called Ibiza in some markets btw - same as Polo Estate, but different front and rear lights, bumpers, very sq at back

*cordobabrendy* · 23-07-2003, 10:45

basically the same as the polo estate. 1.4 1.6 1.9tdi

Yeah i saw one on monday at the dealers, why do they have a Cordoba in the forst place ? it looks like the Ibiza with a boot ?

At least a Golf and Bora have different front ends.

And why have small car estates anyway, surely the point of an estate is for increased space ?

thx for that Brendy, was curious to see what it looked like, its hideous!

:eek:

*cordobabrendy* · 23-07-2003, 10:52

leo, the polo has the usual hatch, classic and also the estate, the cordoba was named the cordoba instead of ibiza classic because its far more superior in its road holding and handling!!
toledo is a leon with a boot, why not make a toledo estate, there was talk of it at one point.

if its flanks and wings were a little wider it would look amazing (galant v4 type), but it just looks like a long ibiza.

**m0rk** · 23-07-2003, 10:54

Leo - the cordie has a usefully sized boot for me plus one

crap for a family though. but it managed to transport me, kev, 2 bikes, 4 spare 16" rims all our kit, 4 bikes wheels and beer & food

much more useful than the ibiza, and it has better handling in 'normal' use - though I miss being able to scandinavian flick the car

did not know that, was the cordobra far superior as standard then?

thought it was just a bigger family version of the Ibiza with a boot!

**m0rk** · 23-07-2003, 10:58

whoops the Ibiza's handling std

planted back end & better balance.

the cordoba came in 4 door and 2 door versions
earlier gtis were 1.8 16v and 2.0 8v and were 4 door
newer 97-99 came badged as sx 1.6 8v 1.9tdi 2.0 16v and the very rare 2.0 8v cuprasport. other smaller capacity engines were also available but only as 4 door in any year models.
the cordobs on track handles better in my opinion because its more balanced, the ibiza end will give way long before the cordoba does and when th cordoba goes all four wheels go which makes for an easier and more dependable controlled correction.
next week: why leon cupra r's are crap!!

yes thats the one i meant as brendy showed a pic of the mk3 ibiza. My colleague meant the mk2

*cordobabrendy* · 23-07-2003, 18:00

tough audience!! i only put that pic up as a guide!!! first pic i could find.

Snoopstah · 24-07-2003, 00:12

All I can say is, the Cordoba I've got while my Beeza is in the bodyshop (new shape, 130TDI) handles like a disaster area. Inspires no confidence, which is fine because any attempt to find the limit generally results in a trouser moment!

But maybe the older ones were better.

*cordobabrendy* · 24-07-2003, 17:32

snoop, the suspension standard is hairy, i instantly uprated mine when i got it.

**andyb** · 24-07-2003, 18:19

later shape, but the back end didnt change when they did the new nose.
