richierich37 236 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) After 20 years of working on the tools (carpenter), I finished up on Friday. For the last 16 years I've had my own business and now its time to go work for a company. My new job starts on Monday as a Contracts Manager, working all over Scotland supervising joinery sub-contracters in house building. So this leads me to a new car. At first my plan was to buy a used Golf and set a budget, after an afternoon of searching the budget was out the window and opted for a new car instead. After a week owning it I've defo made the right choice! This car will not be tampered with and it also means when my VR is finished the VR will be used even less keep the mileage low!Here is a couple of snaps of the BEAST! Seat Ibiza 1.6tdi FR in Metallic white with plenty of spec..............So fingers crossed I've made 2 good decisions, new job? new Seat?

Lukey. 381 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 So theyve dropped the 2.0TDI 140 from them now? What HP do they have with the 1.6TDI? I had the curvy shaped Ibiza FR TDI which was a 1.9TDI 130 in black magic in 2006 and it was fast! I got rid of it as it developed problems and seat werent interested in fixing it even though it was brand new to me, but I still think if it didnt have the issues i may still have had it.

Not too sure of HP dude, its very nippy though and feels quicker than my VW Passat CC 2.0tdi! My neighbour is the MD at Seat so any problems I get will be his! Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not to worry, the individual marques got acquired by other more scrupulous dealers in my town, it was just the company that went tits up (ie Nidd Vale Motors), which everyone was happy about, as they were terrible and deserved what they got. richierich37 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think the 2.0 is underpowered for them, just good for a repmobile that wants low % benefit in kind Link to post Share on other sites
