although the Blue Fabia Limited Editions are soooooo cooll
Thanks, Dan. I know what you mean... but personally, I would only go for the Ibiza Cupra R as I think it is really cool and the best looking one in SEAT range. However, I am really keen on the Limited Edition Blue VRS.... my local Sheffield dealer has only one left for sale and I am still considering whether to get it or not..... Part of me thinking the mk4 Golf GTI Anniversary Diesel version as well......

Oh sorry I mentioned the wrong SEAT then. I meant the latest version Ibiza Cupra with 1.9 TDi engine. Yea, 25th Anniversary GTI has a diesel version with 1.9TDI engine with 150 bhp, but its really hard to find one in good condition with low mileage.... Thats y I am very tempting for the VRS, after what Chris has said....DanDiesel wrote:did they make an anni diesel mk4 golf? i thought that they only made the petrol 1.8T 180bhp version?
the Ibiza Cupra R is a very rare car, only about 75 brought into the country and they were only in the mk3 ibiza guise (mk5 polo platform).

Oh right... yea I meant the GT TDi 150 bhp... I did not know they were that bad... the reason I like it, cos it is limited edition lol Thats the reason I am considering the blue VRS SE as well.... oh well....DanDiesel wrote:ah u must mean the Golf GT TDi 150. i test drove one of them once, great engine but the handling was pretty poor to be honest, but i wouldn't say there was anything special about it unlike the petrol 180bhp one with the BBSD RCs.

I went from the Polo GTi to the vRS..... My other option was the Ibiza FR but after speaking to owners of both cars the build quality seemed better on the vRS..... I've had the car 13 months now and nothing major to report..... Just a couple of usual new car niggles. The missus likes it so much she's sold the CTR and bought an 05 vRS too..... Hers is silver mind.
So we're now a 2 Furby vRS family!!!!!
I do like the look of the SE's but i personally would probably have not gone for one as i spec'd ESP & xenons on my car which aren't available on the SE.
Cheers
Dave.

I went to see an anniversary golf diesel, it was too expensive to be honest.
VRSs are still lots of money, but the GT is even more expensive as they're newer (?)
anyhow, does budget come in to this at all?! you can always go another route and convert a 100tdi with bigger injectors and turbo. but that's probably getting you up to VRS money anyway. clearly the biggest question is which one you like the look of! There's not much in it, personally but I think (biased) that the polo has the most potential. But that's obvious because I bought one!
Only way you can tell is sit in the cars yourself and see which one makes you feel at home. 6 speed will be nice on the motorway too.
