After a long long wait, my car has finally arrived! I'll upload photos asap once the weather clears up and lets me! lol One point I want to mention, is that I went ahead with the custom dashboard in white.. and have no regrets, it looks amazing and everyone comments on how sporty it looks... I think it only looks good on a black car! Due to the contrasts!..
Car handles amazingly and at 6ft 6, and weighing 16 stone,![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
I fit with no problems whatsoever... so ignore all the complaining lot.. took 3 friends up to Alton Towers on Friday.. everyone fell asleep except for me.. so I guess that shows comfort!
The Climate control is brilliant, it starts working at a click and one can easily find a perfect temperature.
The speedometer is great, easy to read and really gives the car a 'sporty feel'.
Many friends told me not to get cruise control, but I do NOT regret it.. Driving up the M5 through the famous '50mph' average speed zones was a breeze, locking the speed on 49mph throughout!
The cupboards under the seats are small, but can easily handle a bunch of cds, clothes, gps and wallet.
The sunroof was a must for me, although I knew it wouldn't open up at all as it's just a tilt roof, it is a must with my height and on a 3 door, you can't go without it.
Bi-xenons are incredible at night, along with the cornering function, and washing your lights every 3 cycles, with these on my car I know I'll always get home in one piece, the 6 airbags also assure all my passengers too!
The seats are snug, comfy and easily adjustable, as mentioned in many posts, the 'easy entry' is stupid on the 3 door, as one must adjust the headrests first!
The boot is a great size, and as seen on fifth gear, can take more baggage than the girly ford fiesta.
The stereo is easy to use, and self explanatory. The red effect lights are very clear and changing mp3/songs/radio stations from the steering wheel is as easy as ABC. Playing all your songs on a USB is a must, and the fact it's hidden behind the central block is an added plus!
Handsfree is fun to use at times, and has no problems with it (that I know of)
The braking on the car is superb and hill hold assist is a great laugh at times once you get the hang of it! If not, yoi'll be wondering why you aren't rolling down the hill at times!
The 17inch alloys are beautiful and although slightly noisy on the motorway and feeling bumps slightly more than regular wheels, are a must on the new Seat Ibiza.
By now, I'm thinking on what else to comment on!..
Averaging 28mpg, it's getting better after a week and hopefully will keep increasing! Especially with the cost of petrol as it is!
Oh finally, the electronically folding side mirrors are probably the best thing on the car, especially living on such a tight road as I do!
As the salesman told me, I've ordered a christmas tree car... at least finally I have it and it was clearly worth the wait!!
