Afternoon all. I'm just enquiring whether any of you Ibiza FR drivers out there can give me your opinion on something please.
Basically, over the past 2 years or so I have been driving my wife's mobility car, a 2023 Ibiza Xcellence Lux. And now In a few months time It will be time again to get another car. The thing Is though, we both like the Xcellence Lux so much that we were hoping to get another one In September.
However, because the Xcellence Lux Is no longer on the mobility scheme list our only other 2 options are the FR and the FR Sport, because we don't want to go for a lower spec car with only about 95 BHP and less features.
But I'm just wondering how much more stiffer and uncomfortable the Ibiza's FR Sport ride will be compared to our current Xcellence Lux, due to it's sportier tuned suspension?
The FR comes with 17" wheels whereas our current Xcellence Lux has got 18"" wheels. So would the smaller wheels on the FR compensate a bit for it's stiffer suspension compared to the softer Xcellence Lux suspension?
I'm probably going to try and take an FR out anyway for a test drive and then we can see for ourselves what we think about the quality of the ride.
But before I do I just thought that I'd ask for a few opinions from you guys first because I've never driven a car with a sports suspension before.
I'm also going to persuade the wife to get an automatic DSG gearbox this time, because I haven't driven an automatic now for well over 35 years, lol.
Cheers guys
