On an overcast day near Heathrow, we took the new IBIZA FR Sport facelift for a spin alongside the new Arona (review to follow).
Check out the review below.

Interesting what you say about the power Scott. My better half has a 2021 pre facelift 115ps and it goes like stink for a 1.0ltr.
I like the interior changes on the facelift TBF and I notice the LED headlights are different, single projector as opposed to several lens (hopefully I’m making sense) on the pre face lift one.
Oh, and the start was quite funny. ??

Yup lolIt's fine when it gets going but starting off when pulling out etc just lagged badly.
There were quite a few bloopers, did you wait to the very end?

Exactly the same as mine , my 71 plate 110 has terrible lag compared to other cars I’ve owned . So I fitted a pedal box from tdi tuning and it has improved quite a bit.It's fine when it gets going but starting off when pulling out etc just lagged badly.

I'm just editing a couple of bits out of the video (via Youtube) so there is a delay, where I mention get the more powerful engine. Currently, there isn't a more powerful engine available. (there was in Europe for the pre-facelift). Should have done my homework properly 
Doesn't the FR spec have a driving profile selection? A so-called "sport mode" that you can enable?
Otherwise, what's the point?

I can hardly notice the difference if any between modes . Not a real sport switch .
