Hey,
My 2002 Seat Leon Cupra is in with the dealers having an airbag issue sorted at the moment. She's done pretty well, with 205k on the clock.
The dealer have given me an Ibiza 1.2 TDI Ecomotive as a loan car. I have been thinking about getting a smaller car as I very rarely need the extra capacity that the Leon presents.
It's surprisingly nippy. The diesel engine seems to work well around town and there seems to be a suitable amount of poke to get it up to 60 as well. Most notable is the agility of the car - it makes my Leon feel like a bit of a shed in comparison when nipping across roundabouts.
Interior is not particularly attractive but the dashboard gadgets all work well.
Given I do a fair number of motorway miles, although the 1.2 diesel would cope with this, it's possible that upsizing to the 1.6 might work better for me. I do about 20k miles per year to put this into perspective.
Anything else I should be considering?
