Default Not an Impreza this time....... but I've bought a new car.

Hey chaps

After owning the A3 Quattro oil burner for just over a year and adding over 30k to the clock I've bought a new car.

Not the quickest in the world 0-60 but 30-70+ is feels like it pulls like a train. I'd like to see figures on in-gear acceleration but can't find any.

Opted for this as it was the best diesel I could get for the money, taking into consideration age of car, mileage done, performance, handling. Would have gone for the Cupra version, but couldn't afford it!

It is a bit plasticy inside but I knew it would be before getting it. All feels pretty solid having said that, the seats are excellent.

SEAT Ibiza 1.9TDi FR 3d (130ps) 55mpg in Gunmetal Metallic Grey
Engine Size1896 ccCylinders40-60 mph9.1 sPower Output128 bhpValves8Torque310 Nm 229 lb-ftTop Speed129 mph

No pics at the moment but will pop a couple up when I get half a chance.

Sounds nice Alex.

I had a Golf as a company car with the same engine, really was a nice car to drive, plenty of torque too!
