General Comments:

For a 1.4, it is a nippy little car and can hold its own.

Fantastic reliability, has never let me down in the 15 years we have owned it, whatever the weather.

Plenty of space inside the cabin.

Great fuel economy.

Has never had any major problems, and general parts are fairly priced.

Cambelt was due for changing at 60000, but is still going at 104000!!

Nothing has gone wrong! Honestly, I left the lights on once and the battery went flat, but it's really an amazing car!

General Comments:

I love this car so much! - the diesel engine returns 50+mpg and it's quick - especially for a diesel. It's black and looks quite sporty. It handles very, very well, even on the little 13" wheels and I bought it some alloys. Superb driving fun and comfort at a real budget price.

Love it!

Faults:

I bought the car as a non runner. A learner driver had burned out the clutch. I repaired this myself which was a pretty easy job.

The starter motor went. I bought a secondhand one for 25 euro, It was easy to fit also.

The Ignition switch seized, I picked up a lock set for free from a crashed one. This was a big job, as the steering column is one with the ignition. The dash had to come out, along with the wiper mechanism!

The coil module went leaving me stranded on the side of the road.

The car has had 3 left hand side wheel-bearings since I bought it.

The fan short circuited.

General Comments:

For its age and mileage the car is in great condition. I do a 50 mile round trip to college and back daily, and the car has been comfortable and never looses it's cool in traffic, It's also able to hold its own on the motorway, one never realises what speed one is doing.

The car is a very practical load lugger, and it frequently carries my band and our equipment.

I love it!!

Faults:

Clutch cable snapped whilst driving, but was only a reasonable £30 to replace and I was able to do it myself.

Timing belt snapped! Not good at all. This was a very expensive job costing me £350. I was not pleased, but I love my car and so I paid for it and kept it running.

Small bit of rust around the passenger side of the car, but this was fairly easily sorted.

Manual driver side window regulator broke, a new one is in the region of £50 but I was able to use eBay to get two brand new ones for £5. Nice one!

General Comments:

I am 17 and this is my first car. I bought it because as a regular reader of max power I have seen some very well modified ibizas. I am currently in the stage of modifying my own. I've so far spent well over £1000 on it.

It is a really good runner nippy to due to engine mods, but was pretty quick before.

Personalised interior, easy to achieve, I am very pleased with the car as a whole.
