reliability wont come into it, engines are the same. build quality will as the dash might be better build but for me the interior was much worse in style i liked the boca seat patterns more and the dashboard with the fake carbon albeit cheesey just won me over. only one or two rattles and i fixed them myself 
both lovely cars but as others said i prefered the rarity of the boca.

I would like to upgrade to the new Suzuki Swift Sport has alot of kit for the money.... although i don't think Suzuki understands what power means yet...... needs a turbo in their 1.6 engine or better yet wait until the GT-86/BRZ on the second-hand market.

For me they have not got the engine right in the GT86/BRZ as the torque is to high for me as I'm not keen on reving engine's, no need for it IMO. . .
Not had one yet, I'm going on the specification from the Toyota website & recent road reports. . .

Its designed to have the delivery that way, ive read a huge article with the cars designers, they pretty much thought about everything.
As for the GTI, not really an upgrade, nither is the golf in my opinion, i drove a 11 plate golf for around a month and yeah it was ok, not much quicker than my ibiza at-all, the interior was nice but very plain in terms of looks, quality is there but im a designer by nature so care more about the way its looks and contrast's with the car.
Id say and upgrade would be leon Cupra/Megane 265/ED35 something like that.

it wasnt that easy to test it tbh but the engine didnt feel gutless but it is very revy
the chassis though is a whole other story, the gear shift is more solid than anything i have ever felt, the steering is incredible as well very responsive. As far as modding goes it is a fabulous base but i feel the supercharged TRD version could be a winner!
I test drove the Fabia VRS, Ibiza Cupra and the Polo GTI when deciding on my new car and by far the most stable in driving and most cossetting in quality was the Polo GTI.
Would I go as far as saying that if I had one of the other two that the Polo would be an upgrade? Probably yes for the Skoda (as it is based on an older platform), but not for the Ibiza.
Yes it is more expensive initially, but it will hold it's value better and probably age better cosmetically too.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

Are they bringing out a polo r?
The rumours look strong, latest one I've seen is having the 2ltr tfsi producing 220 but other rumours of using a new 1.6tfsi seems a better option?? Though there claiming 250hp which surely can't be right?

depending on price i would also love the 2.0T polo, gorgeous engine, you'd home a cupra r version would come out with similar spec, but i doubt it.
Yeah it has a decent reputation but just seems a big engine for the polo. Imagine the tuning capabilities 
Also, am I right in saying the r will be 4 wheel drive? So tuning and more power would be handled great to!
