new seat ibiza

[ianbarrows]

I`m thinking of getting a new ibiza reference sport, not sure whether to go for the 1.2 or 1.4tdi.

its for my job as i`m a driving instructor and wanted to add some 17s

does any have 17s by any chance??? if so was there any problems with arche work at all???

The FR comes as standard with 17", so they will fit on the Reference Sport.

I was wondering what the spec was compared to the Sport of which my wife has. And for the money the 1.4 16v seems very good value for money. Have you considered this?

We negotiated nearly 10% off at Seat. I have listed RRP and What Car Target Price.

Reference Sport:
1.2 12v 70ps - £9045 - insurance Group 3 Target Price £9045
1.4 tdi 80ps - £10745 - Insurance Group 4 Target Price £10745

Sport:
1.4 16v 85ps - £9745 - insurance Group 4 Target Price £9745
1.9 tdi 100ps - £11345 - insurance Group 5 Target Price £11345

It seems that they warrant no discount at all, but as I said we did get one from them.

The Reference Sport comes with:

15"
Manual Mirrors
Standard Suspension
No trip computer
plastic steering wheel
plastic gear lever
plastic handbrake cover
Height Adjustable passenger seat

Sport:
16"
Electric Mirrors
sports Suspension
Trip Computer
Leather Steering wheel
Leather Gear Lever
Leather Handbrake

As a driving insructor i'd go for the 1.4 tdi it has huge mpg compared to the petrol version.

1.4 16v

32.8mpg town
53.3mpg out of town
43.5mpg combined

42% of it's value retained after 3 years (£3945)

1.4 TDi

49.6mpg town
68.9mpg out of town
61.4mpg combined

40% of it's value retained after 3 years (£4158)

1.9 TDi

43.5mpg town
