i was fortunate to be loaned a ibiza bocanegra for a couple of days
on first impression all was good it looked the biz sounds good very well spec"d
good sized boot excellent build quality etc so all looked promising
so it was off to drive it after a couple of miles to get used to the controls it was time to give it a drive and "oh my " what a car the performance is stunning to say the least endless power good road holding a joy to drive the 1.4 tfsi engine and slick 7 speed dsg box work well together in all 3 modes it takes off "like a scolded cat"with a raspy exhaust and over-run on the down shifts even on full automatic mode the ibiza is a super quick hot hatch or a civilised town cruiser its up to you i was expecting a good drive but it was alot more fun than i could even imagine a worthy new edition to the sport seat range this car is one i will certainly consider when its time to swop the leon
to sum up its a bit like an old school hot hatch sporty exhaust turbo whistle abit like peugeot 205/rsturbo hybrid not abad thing at all a bargain really
go try one its the biggest grin ive had for awhile
a big thanks to adam and glenn at TAUNTON SEAT for the loan of the ibiza

having come from a leon fr tdi which I thought was fantastic I really hoped this car was not gonna be a disappointed because you know what it's like on a test drive so much to take in, but my god the car is amazing
I crumbled and went for all options brakes , roof, conv pack, armrest, usbipod and alloy door pack which is really cool much better feel than my leon was! I put some pics up when I can remember how
