Soooo MK5!

[1.4_Sport MK4]

Yeaaah.. im just curious as to what everyones thoughts on the MK5 Ibiza; Personally i dont find the car at all nice and think it doesnt come anywere close to the MK4 ; the only nice one ive seen is one in white, which you dont see often! hahah..

 

[mazzerati]

Thinking complete opposite.....

 

[stezo2k]

The MK5s are hit and miss for me, some look nice and some look just 'ok'. The sporty models look the best I think. The interior is better than the MK4 though

My love will always be with the MK4 though, just stands out a little more I think, its just gorgeous

 

[1.4_Sport MK4]

Hmm, i agree with you on the interior I dislike the mk5 tbh.. apart from the white ones.

 

[rf860]

really like the mk5 tbh, looks more modern than the mk4 plus the interior is miles better! Dont think i would buy it though, want a quality car next!

 

[1.4_Sport MK4]

The exterior doesnt look better in my opinion.. just the interior

 

[rf860]

i agree that the mk4 is a good looking little car, but only in facelift form. It does look dated now though

 

[Scott-o]

Cupra's and bocs are the daddy tbh. Shame they only came in 1.4 twincharged with the dsg box. I woulda been tempted if manual was an option

Took my car in for a service the other week and they parked it up next to a mk5 1.6 Sport in white.

I have to admit, I felt a little sad on the drive home. The mk4's look so dated... I would even go to calling them slightly ugly compared to the mk5.

You'rs might be mine sure aint!

 

[borderboy]

I think it's a very good looking car but it all comes down to the engine / gearbox.....

i would have bought one if it had a more "tuneable" engine in it with a more user friendly gearbox.

i think SEAT have failed a bit here, if someone is going out to buy a car like a boc they would prefer to pay more for the emisions etc rather than get a smaller engine.....

a 2.0 t should be sat in there

You must be mad mate IMO the mk4 is nicer looking, wouldn't even think it was ugly for a second but that's just me. Sure the mk5 is newer looking but it just looks too generic, it doesn't stand out as much as the previous models I don't think

Each to their own

Mk5 is beautiful, had a sit in the boca whilst buying mine & it just felt great, even sportier seat position & low roof

interior is just awesomes!

 

[stezo2k]

I must admit the Cupra/Bocs are very nice indeed, just not keen on the standard models tbh. If I were to upgrade to a MK5 it would have to be the Cupra/Boc as the other ones just don't look as special

FR rear bumper was big fails

 

[Chino_UK]

I was parked up at a services next to a mk5 FR, white, 5 door. Firstly it was a5 door which runs the lines of small cars instantly for me. Secondly, wheels look very bland, interior looked good. Bodywork, didn't look much different to the standard Ibiza's. I look forward to seeing the facelift versions whenever they come out.
I agree though, the mk4 is looking dated. The facelift bumper/cupra rear bumper help a lot, but can't see myself holding onto this shape car for a drastically long time.

 

[GlanzaV]

Standard Mk5's look boring and akward - Cupra's are nice, but need to sit a little lower (as do all standard cars, mk4 included) and the Bocanegra is just a bitt OTT with the black for me.

I agree they look dated now, design of 2002!

But I'm hard to find a car that drives as nice as them & has all the equipment at the same price ?

I think that's why I've had 3 in a row, obv. if I could afford a Mk5 I would have one, but I like power so Cupra/Boca which are like 15k ?

I thought you could now get a 3 door FR Mk5 with the 2lt diesel lump and 6 speed manual ??

That would be nice and tuneable !!

 

[markmeus]

I like mine when they first came out I thought they were hideous, but then the 3 door came along and I really liked it. A worthy upgrade to my old mk3.

Cupra looks the best - but I did see a few FR's with dark grey alloys, looked the business, I even like the ST lol.

And yes theres is a 2.0 CR TDI 6 Speed manual FR.
