These cars must be Rubbish!!!

[matsportline]

I've been lookin and postin on this forum for a couple of months, and from my observations and my own experiences these cars seems to have a lot of issues or is it just me?
Myself included and many others are aways moaning that something is breakin!!!
Got idea why don't we get them all together and offer them back to seat at a bargain price!!! lol

 

[PhilW]

They are ****, i wont be having another seat i know that. All you have to do is look at the whats gone wrong with your car thread to see theyre crap, built on a friday with a VW parts bin.

 

[truCido]

not that bad lmao. Comparing to my car with something with equal power / performance....i'm quite happy with running costs and so on!!

I say that and my car will fall apart tomorrow lol!!

 

[deanrankin85]

the only problems ive had so far, after 10,000 miles have just been annoying like broken door cable, then the handle, then the window jammed! all on the same bloody door at different times!

nothing major as of yet >touch wood<

What hav I started!!lol Its cos they make things too complicated these days don't have such issues with this

 

[acidstrato]

they are **** but there aint anything a great deal quicker for the same sort of money/ tuning potential that ticks all the boxes the ibiza does

for the majority the things that go wrong aint bad, infact very minor things that can make it seem like its the end of the world

 

[matsportline]

To be fair I have only replaced wear and tear items discs, pads exhaust and trim!!! God got to go and touch a moussive piece of wood!!!lol

 

[nick-barnes07]

ive had mine 2 days and its already falling apart , i dont like the build quality of seat , my leon cupra r has done 35,000 miles and it already rattles , and my ibiza cupra is already falling to pieces slowly , electric window motor went on me today ,

 

[Fl@pper]

plus you'll always hear the worst bits

but all said and done at least they aren't vauxhalls

I think this forum is testament to the fact people do enjoy them and they are good cars. If they were that bad, no one would ever come here.

People only moan when somethings wrong anyway, not many people voice an opinion when things are working fine.

Very few marques are any different when it comes to problems, many cars more expensive and prestigious suffer as much from friday car syndrome.

True....

[ian_cupra]

had mine 3 years now and dont want to ever get rid of it, yeah had my fair share of problems, but mostly only small things! the usual small things too, coil packs, n75 and maf's.
only bad thing was water pump which caused head gasket to go.

but i still love the cupra!

 

[Sharky_82]

I wasnt to aware of seats untill a friend of mine brought a ibiza - so be it there are problems - but they have been minor issues (for me anyway) - I was looking for a car that was different as all i ever see on the roads BMW, CTR, Skylines, mercedes. etc -

 

[Ant FR]

Yeah they are complete w**k, always going wrong. never again will i buy seat crap.

Oh Mini's are crap too you should see the lists of problems on the mini forum, never buy mini again..........

Oh Fiats atre crap, yeah you should see the problems on the forum,,,,, absoloute shite...

oh Fords are crap, yeah never gonne buy one of them again, you should see the faults listed on the forum......


Do you see a trend here, every forum has lists of problems with each car they represent. and if Ibizas were so crap, why the hell do they hold their money so well? nothing wrong with what i have seen over the years so stop generalising with crap and unfounded statements.

 

[si-mate]

When was the last time there was a thread on here that went like:

I've owned my car for three years now and it has cost me very little money and I am happy with it?

 

[nick s]

they are **** but there aint anything a great deal quicker for the same sort of money/ tuning potential that ticks all the boxes the ibiza does

spot on. i thought of every possible option, but the ibiza couldn't be beaten for the money in terms of looks, comfort, tuning potential, lovely interior, newish car etc

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Its bargain basement thrills with these things. Yep they aint the greatest of build quality compared to the vw's, the paint fades if you have yellow, Your maf sensor goes couple of times a year. Ive had plenty of problems with mine but, for the 5mins it works properly its fantastic and i love it.

I think also with the turbo cars they are more tempremental than your n/a hot hatches. I dont just think its a seat thing, any one I know thats ever had/got turbo cars are always moaning about something going wrong.

The more that goes wrong the more you learn from it I feel. I love the Ibiza, it does piss me off when it goes wrong, it does get on my tits because the drivers seat squaeks all the time but overall the fun of it outweighs the negatives

My 2pence worth................

 

[TommyCupra]

If you think you have alot of problems try own something french for any period of time lol. I spent over 4k keeping my GTI-6 on the road last year

 

[truCido]

to be honest i've never had all the problems everyones talking about.... had my cupra a year and a half now covered 18,000 miles....and i've had A coilpack go and a outside temp sensor oh and my clutch but thats for other reasons lol
