Ordered the new car today, a mpg machine! I have had a great time with my vrs and its been a very very fun car to own. I love the looks and the drive and the gearbox. But as my needs turned more towards a derv I have ordered a new 2013 seat ibiza coupe fr 1.6tdi, which will be mapped from new to ~148-150bhp and ~ 217lbft torque. Pictures to show it off once it arrives, show n shine!

do stick around

Didn't fancy a monte

Should be a nice motor. Just curious why you would map a new 1.6 tdi and risk it's warranty when you could just buy the 2.0 tdi fr?

The 2.0tdi came out same as the fabia rs price-wise on my pcp, which wasn't the point of the cost saving exercise. The 1.6tdi came well under and maps to the same as a stock 2.0tdi, I have a revo switch box and have had all my new cars done so I trust in it greatly. Plus road tax on the 1.6tdi is only £30 a year free for the first year, 2.0tdi was £100

Didn't fancy a monte

I did but the trade in price for my RS was too low and Skoda wouldn't move, the seat garage worked the figures hard to get me under my monthly spend and have paid my current pcp off with my car as a trade in no extra cost added. So the monte and the seat ibiza actually worked out very similar.

It will be the only seat you see with a briskoda.net bonnet sticker not cupra.net lol

There will be - fully tailored original Skoda rubber car Mat set going up for sale soon and a set of fabia mid guards.

I will be interested in the mat set please!

Or not...... Spoke to seat today, deals fallen through. No new car for me even though been waiting on apparent delivery for over a week. Back to the drawing board

did they say why?

That's a shame

Yea the car was at another dealership and he decided (even though it was showing as available on seats system) that he wouldn't give it up.

I have been commuting from ulverston Cumbria to Warrington a few times this month and have got to say the Skoda is a great car to drive, it just seams to be quite fun to drive.

To be honest with you wilko I bet you'll not get much more mpg from the diesel if you plant your foot into the carpet

Well I would hope so, now so unsure of what to do seb.

Shame - would have been interesting which map they were going to put on to get 148-150, as I think Revo only quote 135

Golf R or gtd

Lol and lol, seb! Golf R? I wish ;-) golf GTD I also wish,, getting prices on the 143bhp 2.0tdi ibiza FR now that maps to an apparent 180 odd brake with 320lbft torque?? If that's right and the price is right could be ordering a factory build this weekend. Also I hear can manage 60+mpg if driven nice, which mine would be commuting.
