Fiats look lovely. Cambelt is a mission to change i think, and they handle like a boat imo. I still think i'd have one over the Seat.

Id get the SEAT any day.

And if I was gonna get the Fiat id get the 16v, way more tuneable. Its the integrale engine and got L8 or P8 managment IIRC, rather than the shonky 5cyl 20V engine...

Seat all the way. At least you'll have a strong power unit. With VAG relibility.

Which 'cupra turbo' .... leon, ibiza?

MK3 ibiza is very cramped but packs a proper punch being quite light. Share lots of the VAG toys, electrics etc.

Handling is not existent but and they have their fair share of problems. They eat maf's like theres no tommorow (80 quid a pop). MPG is pretty bad, I see 180-200 miles to a £50 tank taking it easy, can easy drop that to 150 giving it a caining.

60 in easy low 6 secs and ive seen 160 on gps, but theres no more in the car, not with my current tennis ball turbo

750 quid on top of the car buys a solid reliable 200hp though that you can pretty much just get in and drive and forget about. Internals are supposed to be good for 350, theres a fair few cars pushing 320+ without opening up. Good cars once you sort the niggles out.
