I wouldn't waste your time racing one mate. You'll only end up upset.

dunno mark. pete test drove one and they are quite quick all round. mk2 gti handles well but the cupra is no slouch either.

The 1.8T is only 150 break ??  ???

I take it the main difference between the variations of this engine are the boost levels running eh ? ? ?  (MAIN difference I'm sure there's others before someone get their silly hat on  ;D)

the ibiza won't be any faster than the 16v in standard form, once its been chipped then forget racing one  :D

yeah, they are.
the ibiza is based on a polo.
however a mk2 16v is seriously light, and fast  :D

Indeed. They are all very tunable. The Octavia RS engine is the same as the TT and so is the Cupra.

Good fun in the right hands! 8)

that octavia is a heavyweight car,
love it :D :-*
