SEAT Ibiza III - 2008 Ibiza 1.2 Reference Sport Thoughts? - Rockvilla

Hi All

My current jalopy has reached the end of its financially viable life so I'm looking around for a replacement.

I've seen an 08 Ibiza III 1.2 Reference for sale for 3.7k. Looks great, low 50k miles. No excess wear to seats, pedal rubbers, gearstick gaiter, steering wheel etc etc and has some service history.

The car suits what I need, practical enough for me, mostly drive short journeys (5 miles max) every day to and from work, on a mixture of urban and national speed limit dual carriage ways, with the occasional jaunt further afield on motorways and into cities.

I've driven a number of Ibiza over the years from old J plates to new diesels and I'm happy with the comfort and general driving experience.

I've read reports of the coil packs failing on VAG engines, so my question really is "is it worth going for"?

Best regards

Joe
