Thanks. 2-3 yeas ago i would never consider geting a white car but since i saw that all new cars are beautiful in white, i decided to get one.

This morning, i went to my dealer. A customer was already there and was looking at a black FR that was in the showroom. He told he was interested in the specific car and would order it in 2-3 weeks. But, when he got out, he saw my car and started looking at it and 5 mins after that he got back inside the showroom and ordered one in white !!

Hi vtxracer

I was just wondering how your were getting on with your car, Im really looking forward to my fr. I'm just a bit apprehensive after all the problems are having. Have you had any?

Also I don't suppose you've got any other photos than the ones on here. I'm getting a candy white 1 too so just want to know what i'm getting

cheers in advance

Hi !
The car is excellent. I did not have any problems. Only one unimportant problem when i got it, but it was fixed within 5 minutes (just an annoying noise).
I read about many problems in this forum. In greek forums there are no problems at all with the mk5 ibiza. ( as all of them refer to diesel engines)
I do not have more photos. Did you see the pics i uploaded at the last page ? If you want something specific, just tell me and i will take some pictures.
I hope you get yours as soon as possible !! :D

How you getting on with the DSG now you've spent some time with it?

Are you enjoying it or are you finding 7 gears too much?

Dsg is now fully adjusted to my driving style. It changes gears very smooth and it is very relaxing in traffic. When i want to enjoy the car i use the paddles, gears are short but you get easily used to it.
Having 7 gears is good as you can use all the power from this engine and travel quiet (200km/h with 4100rpm)

mine did exactly the same (47 pounds at 108.9). only it went up to about 260miles. stayed on 260 for a good while and is now dropping rapidly! not looked at mpg but will do and post tomorrow.

On the highway i get 6.5-7 L/100 (about 45mpg) at 120-130kmh. In the city, in traffic more than 10-11L/100(about 25 mpg). If you don't drive aggresively and maintain a certain speed the range is very good. (I have traveled up to 480km on a sigle fuel tank)

Mines done just shy of 800 miles so far, getting about the same - ave 26 ish mpg, it stayed on 260 for abot 40 miles then has dipped really quickly. only done 15 miles and it has dipped by 45!!! I was thinking the same as what your dealer said. wait until i've done around 1500 and see if there is improvement. hope there is. i convinced my wife that it would be pretty good on fuel. lmao.
