i no im a bit late on the uptake of this thread, but, yeh hooked.
I've had 3 Mk4's now, an 04 plate 1.2, o8 plate 1.4 100 and now my 56 plate FR and i just wont change this one for a while to come. They annoy the crap out of me but i love it all the same, spent waay to much time money effort, spilt so much blood over them i could feed dracula for a week, yet i cant part with it, drove my parents cars for a week, test drove a load of other hot hatches (abarth 500's vxr corsa's, type r's golf gti's etc) and yet i just wanted to be back in the beefa, theres something about it that still puts a smile on me face lol even after everything ive gone through. probably why i called the latest one christine

I must be addicted to these Mk4s somehow, all my mates (I'm 18, so many mates have been getting first cars lately) have been getting Puntos and Clios, then I turn up and break the mould with the Spanish thing.
And I continue to spend money on making it look better. Mum & Dad are getting hacked off I think... "ohh why can't you leave it as it is?"
Everyone bangs on about the rattles these cars have, I've got no interior rattles, just a super annoying suspension rattle. And it isn't the bushes, they've been replaced with Cupra jobbies!
My old Skoda didn't rattle, it was like sitting in a library. Just a shame I couldn't afford to insure it!

I'll be honest with you Scott mate, people are the same. Ibiza owners that haven't owned a Skoda just don't get it.
My parents have an A6... all the Pissrat owners say their car's the same and just as good... they're not. Mechanically they are but that's as far as it goes.
It's not small minded, it's an opinion Scott. I hate 5 doors for one and because everyone else will look and think 'urgh skoda' because of their rep before v.a.g bought them out this would just make me choose the Ibiza fr or even try find the pd130 polo that they did in limited numbers. I was all for getting a polo gti after my fr but the cupras are just so much better specced and cheaper, it would be silly to pay an extra 3k for a worse specced car, it wasn't me been boring or narrow minded. I don't think you would get bored of an fr if you have stuck out a 1.2 for so long. The fr is a completely different beast, as is the cupra to the fr. I'd say just go test drive the options and get whatever you want with your money. If you want a vrs then fair enough, knowones particulary trying to sway you, just giving their opinions. End of the day, all the same cars, except the 5 doors. Just depends on budget
And vw and Audi are always going to be the main people in te vag group. Seat and skoda will always be the underdogs
i must admit i dont like 5 doors either,
i love my ibiza fr although ive had abit of bad luck with it, someone scraped my rear bumper whilst parked up, and on friday gone i went to meadowhall with a mint car, came back to see someone has scraped all the paint off the front bumper so another trip to the bodyshop,
but apart from that i love it, i nearly bought the white cupra tdi that was in the showroom but couldnt get insured due to points and an accident so i went for the fr and havent looked back plus it was the first kandy white mk4 FR in the country too which made me happy, all i want for it now are some cupra alloys and coilovers, money has been tight over the last 2 yrs due to building a corsa z20let with a good spec paying for a wedding and moving into my first house, but now they are out the way i can treat my car to some much needed goodies and attention, roll on 2011

My cars only got 38,000 miles on her, went through 2 turbos (on it's 3rd now), numerous other things breaking but i still can't bring myself to get rid of it. It's either addiction or stupidity for me. lol

Na mines just the fr... Tbh it was just purely sound before the map, haven't had the standard filter on it since it's been mapped but guess it does make quite a difference as the fr intake is quite restricted (compared to cupra) when I got it map'd bloke said it was a strong map, he gave me on the road figures from his comp of 215hp and 250lb-ft torque he said that's within 5% accuracy, wanna get it on a rollin road be interestin to see. Does go tho =D
I have the 1.4tdi - 80hp version. I think it's a good car, not planning of selling it. drove it over the 60000miles mark ,this week (car was new in may 2008) and I must say , it never let me down...best car I've owned was my arosa mk2 1.4! I miss that car.it was fast!
