Ibiza Cupra/FR or Fabia vRS?

- Start date
Mines been spot on since the day I bought it.
But I admit I've seen other cars on here that were a total joke.
Went for an 04 Ibiza FR in the end. Really the whole point of buying this car was to be a cheap daily driver as my Landcruiser isnt cheap to run and wont be getting any cheaper soon. 
So the FR made more sense as it was cheaper to buy, run and insure and I got a good deal form the dealer. Cant wait to pick it up next sat.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
BTW: Im not sure what everyone is on about with the harsh ride, on the test drive I was purposely driving over potholes and speed bumps and I seems fine to me, my spine is still perfectly intact?

16" wheels with 45 profile tyres that's why! Good decision. Now let the mods begin. Have a look at my readers ride thread for ideas to get you started!

Harsher ride perhaps than some other super minis.. depends what your used to
How you find it, performance is deceptive for a "130bhp" car eh.

Its quicker than my Landcruiser thats for sure!
I liked it a lot, Im looking forward to giving my mates Mini Cooper D a run thrashing!
Wont be doing any major mods on it soon, Ive already got 2 other projects on the go right now. Ill probably do the intake and induction system though as its a cheap and quick way to gain more power.

If you want a quick cheap way to gain power.. there really is only one way to go...

I have a 56 plate FR diesel on driving like a grandma the highest mpg i have ever got is 76.5mpg! I was stunned when i checked it on the trip computer. I was trying but didnt realise i could get it that high! Crazy i have only had it 8 monhs and i love it! Dont think i will buy a petrol for a long time! It is totally standard other than a LCR splitter. Love it!
