Ibiza - 2 doors, Furby - 4 doors.

Seems to be around 40kg per extra door!

Nice try....but.

Mine is a 5 door Ibiza, it supposed to weigh 1180kg

The cupra is a hard ride and laggier too due to the big turbo. The vRS is a softer ride and doesn't handle as well as the 130 ibiza but is much more comfortable - I do 100 miles a day in mine and honestly wouldn't have anything else (and I've looked cos I'm due a change!).

Standard

0-60 - 8.5secs

0-100 - 24 secs

1/4 mile - 16.5ish

Even with a full interior, spare wheel and a huge lump of me (25 stone) in the car, I managed a 16.03 1/4mile in my Standard Fabia.

Though that was with only reserve fuel in the tank and pd160 intake and green filter.

A Std furby tank of fuel doing mixed driving i.e motorway for 20 miles, back lanes & villages for 45 miles will get you 400 - 410 miles before reserve beeps at you, that is not being gentle or barking mad with the right foot.

Put a map on and expect 370-380 from the tank, same rules apply

(seen a friends comparison myself)

Looked at Ibiza as I am thinking about change, but was very disappointed with interior plastics - felt really cheap and not well put together. :( ( my opinion)

My fuel economy used to hover at up to 350 miles/tank when driving at (high) pace 90%+ of the way, I now frequently get 450+ miles/tank of derv with the LPG on + driving at similar speeds (same roads etc).

A remap will change the best gear to be in for a particular situation, and it probably varies a fair bit with the tuner & conditions (more so due to the latter).

You can drive a remapped car at excellent fuel economy if you stick to NSL and don't accelerate hard etc.

Worst fuel economy on a 'trash the cr*p out of it' run home was < 30 mpg but that was hitting 4.5k rpm every gear, hard breaking, hard accelerating, not exceeding NSL (backroad situation, just not safe) but still making hard progress.

Generally I easily hit 45 mpg now whilst making brilliant progress, could be 50+ if I slowed down a tad more.

Fuel economy for a given run varies massively driver to driver as well as car to car. Take every figure with a pinch of salt - you might do much better, you might do much worse.

I found that post remap my mpg went up...

Most tanks are never below 420 and can see 500 if i take it steady...

this is one worry i got, i normally get 48ish mpg at nsl on the 300 mile trip home, however, at about 90 with cruise engaged on my private driveway the mpg goes to about 42/43 - i can live with that.

remapped going at 90 on my driveway with cruise on am i likely to see more than 40mpg?

After 40k miles I report about 400 miles to a tank. 0-60 varies from month to month but it seems in the region of 7-8 seconds remapped. It was faster than my brothers 172, but slower than his 172 cup by some margin. My PB was at Elvington where I did:

0-60 in 6.67

1/4 mile in 14.84

I didn't have any backseats or sparewheel though and nearly an empty tank. A CTR/Clio 182 will do this time all day without worrying and they are built to do this unlike a remapped Fabia where the internals are under a lot more stress and things tend to go pop a lot more often (clutch, turbo's, water pumps etc). Some people have the luck and nothing goes wrong (or they drive differently to accomodate the fact it's remapped), other people have a lot of problems.

The Fabia isn't a hot hatch, it's a warm hatch with a good mid range grunt, economical, easy to insure and spacious. Overall a good package at a very rewarding price.

I sum the fabia up as a jack of all trades, a master of none.
