Seat Ibiza Cupra

Description:

Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI DSG

This car has been absolutely spot on for me. I swapped it for an A180 as I was looking for something more fun – and this certainly delivered!

Mechanically, the car runs perfectly and sounds great thanks to the Milltek back box. Aside from the exhaust and an upgraded stereo with wireless Apple CarPlay, the car is completely standard. I still have the original head unit and Garmin unit, which will be included in the sale/swap. It has a full service history and recently had an oil and filter change.

The car really is a lot of fun to drive. It shifts through all the gears smoothly with no issues and is mechanically sound.

As with most second-hand cars, there are a couple of downsides. The car is a previous CAT S, with damage to the OSF, which was professionally repaired by the previous owner – you genuinely wouldn't be able to tell. As shown in the images, there is also some cosmetic damage to the NSR quarter panel and the passenger door, along with scuffing to the alloys. I’m happy to have this damage repaired for the right deal.

The only reason I’m reluctantly listing the car is due to practicality – with a young child, getting him in and out can be a bit awkward at times. That said, I’ve managed fine for over a year, and I’ll continue to do so if the right deal doesn’t come along. Honestly, I wouldn’t be disappointed to keep the car.
