how to tell if its 8v or 16v

[Kai_1600]

cos thats more than the book MPG of my 1.6 SXE

 

[jenk]

I only get that if doing a good run on the motorway. My average is showing 27mpg

 

[jaketalbot]

38mpg flippin heck, i'm lucky to get 30!!

 

[jaketalbot]

8 valve- insurance group 11, 16valve- insurance group 14. 0-60, 8 valve- 9.4s standard. 16 valve- 7.6s standard.

 

[Ron_Cupra8v]

Otherwise its about 38mpg

Were you driving Miss Daisy ?!!!
I average about 28mpg.

 

[Hayz]

Well thats what the counter said lol.

I wasn't driving like a granny, but I wasn't driving quick either lol

 

[Ron_Cupra8v]

To be fair I have had 40+ out of mine when I drove very very very carefully

 

[Mckellar]

the 8v will give a half decent mpg assuming u dont boot it all the time and let it warm up properly etc

 

[chris285]

unfortunatley as much as i love the mk2, my next car is going to be a mk4 ibiza

the pull of a tdi 130 on insurance group 8, giving 50+mpg and 0-60 in 9 sec is too strong

8 valve- insurance group 11, 16valve- insurance group 14. 0-60, 8 valve- 9.4s standard. 16 valve- 7.6s standard.

Not quite, the 8v Cupra is group 11, the 8v GTi is only group 10.

 

[Mckellar]

and the 16v is group 12

 

[jenk]

Crazy how a cupra's group 11 and a gti's group 10.

 

[Czechboy]

and the 16v is group 12

Not too sure about that. I know that some places advertise the GTI 16v being a 10. And the Cupra/ cupra gti being a 14. Maybe the 1.8 16v's were a IG 12. But once again, its a Pedro special lucky dip as to what Ibiza is what and the insurance group it is

 

[Brummy]

ah well,. I have a Mk2 'Cupra Sport GTi' (8v) and it costs me a smidge over £300 quid fully comp to insure, even with the missus ( see siggy for miss Daisy) on.. and seems Ive been booting up and down from Brum to Shrewsbury a lot lately Ive been avearaging abot 28 mpg.... (but its worth it for the grin factor )

 

[F2 Stu]

one question you 'really' dont want answered truthfully

Amen

 

[dougy69]

when using my 16v to work and back (70miles round trip) i average at 35 - 38 mpg using the 2nd trip thing and calculating it over a full tank!! (therefore several days) however as said above it can also get pretty low at the weekends!! lol

 

[Smithy]

im looking to get a ibiza cupra sport 2.0 its T reg and thats all i know how can you tell if its a 16v or a 8v and what are the 0-60 times on both and what are the insurance groups as you can tell im a newbee but just trying to find out more befor i buy one

If you were interseted in the acceleration differences, there's a vid of my 8v vs a mates 16v at Santa Pod located in the Video section of the forum. Gives you a bit of a comparison up to 85mph ish
