Mk5 Ibiza REVEALED - This is the real one!

[Poverty]

Honest opinion:


I think this car looks crap. Other forums are all slating it and I dont blame them. Flame surfacing all gone wrong. You cant have all those mad lines going along the side profile when the rest of the car is tame and grannyfied looking.

Also I have issues with the dash design, its too 90's looking in the layout. The center console should just have all been on the 1 same level if you know what I mean.

The back end of the car is bland, the front end is the same although I think it has huge potential. The mismatch of the grill is also getting to me.

This are my initial views, maybe once we get some real life pics of the car my opinion will change as I think press release pics of cars usually are crap at capturing a cars real beauty.

The seats look like the ones that are in the current ibiza.

I do like the steering wheel though.

i like the interior looks nice imo, overall the car looks nice but if they do the cupra like the bocanegra then it will be a winner for me

although looks like i am still aiming for a mk4 cupra tdi as my next motor

 

[canonman]

Looks Smart but looks very skoda ish also, also seen them air vents before ford fiesta? lol

 

[the bear1986]

i'm not loving 1 bit i just hope they do make the 3door better looking as this looks cheap.

 

[Guinness]

tbh Im glad it looks like that, at least I wont want to sell my mk4 soon.

someone sayed the lights of the negra are sure to remain on the biza.i see no such thing

Yeah, got them in my Mk6.5 and thought the same!

Overall, the new car looks like a botch job to me. I think that's the result of 'globalisation'. THe Hyundai i30 rear, Kia Cee'd rear 1/4. And what's going on under the stereo with those boxes at the back of that cubby hole? Nice to see the fiddly climate controls have been continued over and the hazard warning switch is handy too.

Well done SEAT for coherent design.

only someone without a clue would say that - that design was a ring of LED's - never likely to make production

Hmm, change of wheels and a bit of subtle bodykit stretching later :

and you have Ibiza FR // 5 door version

 

[David_smith_909]

as much as i hate to say this (sorry seat in advance)
thats absolutly aweful - side of a BMW, rear quarter of a 206, focus/astra shape - looks like a complete bodge/rush job

unless dramatic changes are made to the MK5 one will never live on my drive

kinda hoped it would be a smaller version of the new leon, and if it was id snap one up straight away - very dissapointed

Stop moaning everyone a designer can't come up with every detail of a car without looking at other cars. Your just trying to pick out pieces of the design which are "similar" to other cars whereas i think in real life they will not look quite so similar as you believe. And if you look at the front the general shape of the lights is almost along with the bocangera. In fact this ibiza really is fairly close to the bocangera in quite a few way's so i don't know what you all saying about i wish it was more like the bocangera.

all major lines are so similar

 

[David_smith_909]

theirs quiet alot of differences their if you look closely

 

[sem1604]

was looking for seat to convince me to stay with the brand, guess ill have to look elsewhere now, gutted so wanted to like it. Will go to York to see it in the flesh though.

Of course there is, did you really expect anything else?

Production cars are ALWAYS less dramatic than concepts as they have to appeal to a much wider audience than the car enthusiast. Can you really see many over 65's buying the Bocanegra??? I don't think so.

As has already been said, all the major lines are in place and with a body kit and nicer alloys I think it will look the nuts.

each to their own.....

yes but it is how they implement the other design into thier one that counts....as said by most on here looking at this 'new ibiza' is like looking at a mis-match of other cars not even in the Vag range...

think about it.... the mk4 ibiza nd mk2 Leon have NO look alike counterparts....
i was hoping this mk5 ibiza was going to be a hit....

it definately is a miss for me...

I read it in some weekly motoring magazine. Boooooooooooooooooooooo

I've onlt just work up and am trying to have a proper look around that mini site. So far i've failed to register and i've failed to find out where the trucks are going. How do you all know it's going to be in york and when?
