Haven driven both whilst looking for a new car (then buying a very cheap mk2 tdi) i would definately get the 110 tdi. Its alot nippier and returns good mpg even without trying very hard. Motorway cruising at 70 you can get about 50mpg without a problem which the 1.6 is never going to do. Also the tdi has alot more torque and pulls everywhere with ease. The 1.6 isn't overly quiet either and requires lots of revving to make decent progress.
 
Mike, you're talking sense mate. Need to try out a 110 TDi asap to be honest. All I need now is another £500 and then wait for a decent one to come along :) Thanks to you all for all the comments and guidance :)

Anyone else have anything to add, feel free :)
 
Mine had 88,000 miles on it when i got it a year ago. It now has 106,000 on the clock and i havent had any real issues with it apart from the dreaded MAF. But i cant really moan as ive done nearly 20000 miles in a year! As for the engine its loud when cold but once its warm it quietens down and the drive is smooth and it always put a smile on my face. Since i've had the car ive put all the cupra kit and interior on it, had it serviced at Seat, changed the brake pads and i think thats it. So not too bad really

Heres a few piccies for you.

Ignore the missus!!!

I might be over in ireland back end of this year so give us a shout if you get one and when im over i'll let you know!!

Thanks a lot mate! Nearly didnt realise this, as I was taken to the 2nd page of the thread! Thanks a lot, that's a really nice one!...TDi is it? Waw love the colour and everything you've done to it! Nice wheels :)... Thanks again mate! :)
 
No worries mate and yea its the tdi 110 sport. Glad you like it. Wheels were a pain to get searched for ages then ended up getting them for a bargain price!!! It'll be up for sale in 12 months though. I'm saving up for a mk4 tdi cupra or fr. Just cant get enough of the ibizas!!!
 
take a look at antnee's -i reckon they look a lot more distinctive as they are personally and adding the black roof is just auto pron :)


:redface::redface::redface:


AMC's 110 sport is running around 190bhp, and has plans for more power
 
see what i mean :) the contrast between yellow/black just nails it for me

all i would do to that would be to hide the wipers but i'm working on that idea still
 
Awesome once again guys! :) Thanks a lot! :D

Josh - might be the potential buyer :p, who knows eh :lol:... one thing's for sure - I'd really take care of it. I take care of my Ibiza now, even though I've really gone off it tbh. It'd be in good hands! :)

Agreed Flapper, it's looking pretty awesome! I'm liking the steelies are they? Look different! Thanks Antnee :)...something rather menacing about black wheels ha, like it :p

Keep 'em coming, I'd love to see more :)... TDi it is then ;) x
 
i've got a 1.6 sport and id recommend getting one, there hard to find becuase they didnt make as many as they did the 1.4s and the cupras. theres a few on pistonheads at the moment, i saw a black one for 800 quid, it was for sale by somebody who cant spell so i wouldnt trust that advert too much!!

and heres mine :)

thank you Daymo, nice car! Like the wheels, cupra standard sprayed white are they? Look fresh against the silver. :)... well I think I'll have to check pistonheads for anything then :p. I might have to test drive a 1.6 and a TDi too before getting either one :) see which one I prefer. I think it's going to be a TDi, all for economy + nice power to them, cos I'm gonna be travelling down to Cardiff 2 - 3 times a month so... :) makes sense right?
 
God I am soo tempted atm, trying to work as much shifts as I can... I could wait another 3 months say, but as it stands (Sorry for bumping the thread up again) - could I get a TDi 110 Sport for about a max of £1.5k or would I have to shovel out a bit more and wait till before xmas maybe? ... Aaah! :p thanks!

EDIT; I've been looking through the usual suspects (third party adverts), and nothing really. A lot of 1.4's lol, No thanks! :p

hi, i was in a similar position 2 years ago. Had a good look round and decided upon a 03 plate 1.9 tdi sport 130 bhp. group 7 insurance £125 tax a year and does 55 mpg +. on top of this it's as fast atleat as a lot of boy racer cars out there:D. one of these should be well within your price range. you won't regret it
