Frustrating at the moment mate! It's currently 300 miles away in Surrey waiting for Saturday. I can't wait, I've had my ickle 1.0 for two years. I love it to bits, but it's rather slow and handles a bit like a... a... well, something that is spongy and can carry no speed through a corner. But other than that it looks great and even two years on still gets a few looks for a 1.0l...
Anyway, back to the 16v; it's my brother's, who has funnily enough just bought a
Ibiza TDi 130 Sport for the same reason as you, except swap Bristol for Basingstoke! I've been in the 16v, it seems to handle well and, although partly the "go-kart" effect, seems to go like stink. Which is fine by me. What other cars did you come up then, you must have had a few spat's with other warm hatches / rep mobiles?
I'll let you all know how I find it, I'm sure. I'm so excited, I feel like I'm 6 waiting for Christmas!!!
Yeah, I read with increasing frustration your experiences. It's so very much unfair. I read a lot on here, just post little because I haven't really got an exciting SEAT therefore don't have many tales! Hopefully that'll change with time and a few choice traffic lights.
Wow, longest SCN post for me ever.
