People that have gone from a Leon to a FR/Cup Ibiza

[Tonezz]

I was just wondering how the 2 cars differ driving wise?

Seat market the leon as the step above the ibiza so are you not down classing? xD

I mention this because browsing classified ads, you can pick up 2.0 TFSI FR DSG Leon for about £9500 with decent mileage. Although the insurance and running costs are going to be more, the car is still £2,000-£3,000 cheaper than the cheapest Ibiza FR I'v seen!

The Leon is larger and quieter obviously but the main difference other than that is the suspension, the Leon has proper indipendant rear suspension where as the Ibiza doesn't, it has a torsion beam that dates back to the 1980's.

Ive done the same step from the Octavia vRS down to the fabia which is exactly the same as what your saying with the Leon and ibiza as the chassis's are the same.

There is a marked difference in handling IMO. I actually still prefer the octavia to drive, although mine was heavily modified so is harder to compare at the moment. With mods i think i can get the fabia alot better purely down to how light it is
