I'd have the Ibiza or Polo over the Fabia... a bit awkward looking

I agree with the comment on the looks but as a practical small hatch the ungainlyness is more of an asset than a detraction

I think they have lost the edge with this one by going back to petrol, it just becomes a cheaper version of the Seat & VW being mechanically identical. The old TDi VRs was its own niche market

I like it. But I agree the diesel hot-ish hatch thing was different. Though Seat has their FR range in Europe.

A neighbour I had, whilst inthe UK, had a Vrs TDi... MAN that was quick. Just the Torque of it! Bloody amazing.

The new one looks OK... Does anyone know if the Ibiza will be coming here??

Ibiza as in SEAT? I dont think EMD has any plans to reintroduce the SEAT brand back into NZ.
