Pistonhead's review of the MK5 Coupe (with interesting comments at the bottom!)

[T. Spark]

Found this a interesting read from the Pistonheads guys earlier today. The comments that are mounting up are interesting to read, as most wont be from the Seat crowds...

They are saying very little on the engine, or gearbox. Just on looks. which they seem to dislike...

Not really, they tend to want more say then in how things are run.

I agree, saw several shots of a Mazda 2 a few months ago and had to think thats what the Ibiza will look like surely? the mazda looks pretty funky in that weird green, however its cute not what I wanted the new Ibiza to look like.

Saying that the MK2 guys said the MK3 was too 'soft' looking, and the same for the MK3 to MK4 crowd.

piston heads guys also rubbished the MK2 TT. They said the TT was rubbish to drive and slow bla bla when infact the MK2 TT is a complete turn around from the MK1. SEAT like audi still need to turn alot of people opinions around, mostly those of middle aged men who dont know any better.

Saw a mk2 Leon in that colour the other day, looked good amazingly

 

[Cupra Kid]

As for the Ibiza i'll pass judgement when i see it on the road, hated the mk2 leon at first but its grown

Well on a SEAT forum you would expect a certain amount of bias...that's obvious

Personally I wish SEAT would produce production cars that looked like the very nice concept cars they have dangled under our noses the last few years......

I don't see much 'special' about the MK5 coupe personally..........

Not really. I love the current design ford are taking with their cars. The new mondeo is lovely as is the up coming fiesta.

Not at all my fave car of all time is a Ford, and if i wanted a new car at the mo i'd be straight down to them also.
