Noticed this too when browsing on Seat website / leasing comparison sites , 0-60 has dropped to 9.7 as well.
Looks like the old engines 115 figures have come back. Slightly less mpg but quicker 0-60.
Test driving this car tomorrow Leon fr 1.5 tsi 150 and wondering if anyone has driven it in the past as previous owner is a lease firm and up for sale at a good price . Will be keeping an eye out for any kangarooing . Looks clean FSH 26k.
Agree with SRGTD usually when a gpf is fitted acceleration is a little down on pre gpf.And also manufactures tend to change the gear ratios . My old 68 plate Astra 1.6t did 0-60 in 7.2 seconds , the 2016/17 same model did it in 6.6 seconds.
This was down to a gpf fitted and my car would hit...
Go for as new as possible so mk3 over the mk2 if you can.
I had a 2013 1.2 tsi but it had very low mileage , about 30k. Sold it a year ago but it was a very reliable car.
Issues I did have were 1.rattle in door cards , 2. rattle on dash 3. Clutch pedal often went flat to the floor.
I sorted the...
Yeah it’s happening everywhere, I ordered a Ford puma titanium in oct and was promised Jan 22 , then in Dec 21 told would be March - may 22 ! But I got a phone call the other day saying a puma st-line x was available immed so I snapped it up and it was delivered yesterday.
Also with fords...
As SRGTD said It’s the same everywhere at the moment , just look on the Ford websites - huge delays but dwindling through a bit now. Trains at Dagenham are moving pretty fast now with fiestas , pumas etc on them.
Exactly what I’m doing , I bought my FR 110 in sept last year (71 plate) , now with 1200 miles on I’m selling it for same price. So a few months free motoring and chopping in for a Ford puma.
I quite like the Ibiza , goes ok but the throttle response on all settings in my mind is woeful but...
I,ll be very happy with £16.3k for my FR 71 plate .that’s what I paid and what I’m reselling at when my Ford puma arrives.
71 plate FR has rear elec windows and climate control.1ltr good little engines , great on fuel .
I think the newer the better and a full warranty is better. And also newer Ibiza will be worth slightly More.
if there is only a few £££ between them all go for the newest.
I think leasing a newish one will be over £200 / month so prob not best option.
Too give you some idea of price I bought my 1.0 tsi 110 FR on sept 1st last year (71 plate) for £16.3k.
im getting a ford Puma in a couple of weeks so ibiza going then , have been offered £16k by same garage to buy...
Hi
it all depends what you want from a car . Coming from a Leon FR which you prob have 120/140 bhp you may well be a bit disappointed. I’ve got a 71 plate Ibiza 110 FR and whilst good for a 1.0tsi it won’t have the speed of the Leon.
The Ibiza handles well , quite quiet on the move , spacious...
Totally agree Bigjase88 my 1.0 Ibiza sits at 2000 revs at 60mph in 6th , same as my 200hp Astra in 6th !
it’s as if emissions have been screwed down to make way for pedestrian performance. I did hear emissions played a part in why the 115 went to 110 . And I’m pretty sure the 95hp salesman‘s...
Very slightly different but my seat Ibiza 1.0 tsi 110 also sounds like the 130 in the Leon.
ok mines only got 800 miles on the clock but it is flat as a fart at low revs , just doesn’t go anywhere with a flatspot around 1200-1400 . tried going between eco , sport , individual but very very minor...
I’ll look into this if I keep the car.
ive adjusted the pedal box and throttle adjustment via carista this morning and feels slightly better. Has def got rid of a flat spot which would reappear if everything back to normal.
probably I was expecting too much from this little engine as used to a...
It can be done but 110 will need the very latest tuning box (not the same as 115).
it’s a different map so 115 box won’t fit a 110.
ive enquired about them as well but looking at £399 + , some a lot more.
personally I’m not really enjoying my new FR , just not enough get up and go .I fitted a...
Exactly the same as mine , my 71 plate 110 has terrible lag compared to other cars I’ve owned . So I fitted a pedal box from tdi tuning and it has improved quite a bit.
