VW Golf's Spanish Little Brother - SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.8T Review

With a 1.8T 20V (found in the MK4 Golf GTI/Leon Cupra/Audi TT), this car is not refined by any means, but can really shift with some very light modifications. It's very much an underdog when it comes to the 1.8 Turbo Volkswagen Group Cars, but is among the fastest of them because of how light it is!

I have a Mk4 Polo Gti. This cars twin. Mine has a Bjx engine but still the 1.8T and also manual. I love these cars.

Sick video mate, production quality is bang on and comedy is bang on, thanks man!!!!

means a lot, thank you!

I think my old Leon Cupra was the best car I’ve ever owned. Great era for VAG cars

[@ilBarbonauta]

1.9 tdi pd 1.8 turbo not tsi Best engines era

[@chosenone40]

bro NOT TDI OK???

[@NaFf_]

can confirm two separate ibiza' have tried to kill me

[@Birmingham_racing]

Been waiting for a review on this. I just bought another mk4 was a cheap run about. Not a cupra it’s a fr diesel 130bhp already remapped so can be abit of fun. It’s good to be back in one

[@kamala6360]

Production looks top notch!

[@Paynos]

Thank you!!

[@Weeflowerofscotland]

Every time you say jobbie I laugh like a 5 year old. I’m Scottish... google it! Anyway enjoyed the review 😉❤️

[@alexstewart2247]

I was 21 when I got my 2005 mk4 seat ibiza cupra 1.8T! 😅 and 6 years down the line iv still got it to this day! It's been a great car cost me nothing to maintain! was on 56,000 miles when I got it now on 101,000 and still tight as a drum! Stage 1 like yours always said I was going to go stage 2 but never thought it needed it really 🤷‍♂️

Really dont like Golfs, much rather have something from seat. Preferably a Leon

[@killafx4726]

I like Skoda and Seat, but I dislike VW. Is that weird?

[@rh9224]

Killa Fx no, Volkswagen is too common and simple imo

[@killafx4726]

@@rh9224 My thoughts, exactly. I mean, a lot of them lack that bit of 'personality' that you get with Skoda or Seat. They almost seem a bit too sensible and no-nonsense for their own good (if that makes sense).

[@kjwa3868]

@@killafx4726 I have the same. I like Seat for the styling and the budget prices. I don't like VW for their boxy designs and overpriced cars :P

[@m4s7erjay17]

My cousin had one of these cars and he remapped it as well... the car was on drugs.... what a car...

[@SINIS0RSA]

I have been enjoying mine -07 1.8T FR for over two years now. I have remapped it, installed Bilstein coilovers and a rear arb. It's awesome fun for a little money. I had -07 MX5 previously. It was nowhere near as fun as the 6L has been.

[@ELZBH12]

Also have a 6L just not a cupra - TDI But Running about 180bhp and 310ft feels alright

[@giannisantypas9316]

The MK4 POLO GTI's Spanish Cousin, the SEAT Ibiza did have soft plastics in higher trim versions just like the VW Polo 9N. And the 'old school SEAT build quality' had nothing to do with rattles, Leons of that age were above average. It is more of the way a second hand car has been treated by the previous owner and the awareness you have that you are buying an aged car.

[@levisanderson6951]

Think you should make a video comparing this to a RS Clio 182

[@Paynos]

epic little cars. Definitely got the edge in the corners but will get done in a straight line

[@willtato8778]

Just curious, when is trackday for you? Looking to start but cost seems quite high.

[@aviewer2102]

I swear none knows that this engine is the polo GTi 9n3 engine as it's the ko3s. In the description it says same as TT and Leon they have bigger turbo ko4 and it's shared with the MK3 Ibiza cupra aswell with the ko3s

[@phetogokgathi4217]

This one has the CUP edition engine though. The last of the 9n3 GTi’s

[@aviewer2102]

@@phetogokgathi4217 that would still make it a ko3s with a BBU engine code instead of BJX in the polos 👌

Hi Paynos, looking at first cars what do you think of the SEAT Ibiza 2008 1.4 16v Sportrider 3dr

My polo 9n has similar issues with the gearbox, most likely a issue with VAG cars of this era

Hey Paynos, nothing to do with the video but just bought my first car, a VW Polo 09 match 1.2, not much of a car expert, but a decent first car? Can I get your opinion LAD 😉

[@iain2gd]

I have a Revo Stage 2 Ibiza FR T (Cupras little brother) that’s running around 250hp! would love to show it off if you would be up for anything 👍🏼

More like a polo 9n3 then a golf mk4 1999 or 8 to 2004?

[@BiZz96]

Cool car

[@killafx4726]

How many miles were on the clock when you purchased it? I'm intrigued...

[@SCOTTCOD4]

The only issue with them Ibiza and Arosa are early models have terribly designed pedal boxes

[@shamusilsley1989]

I prefer my '06 VW Polo GTi 9n3. Very bias, but it looks a whole lot better in my opinion :)

[@untuchaball9611]

The cupra is faster and more powerful...

1.8t Polo GTI's are rad little cars, definitely got the edge on looks and make cool track cars

You mentioned in your video that your engine wasn't the forged model none of the 1.8ts were forged from the factory

The BAM engine codes for the 1.8t20v stuff had forged cranks and were built a little stronger but that's about it

Not these specific ones mate. They've got an electronic system that grabs the brake on the slipping wheel to simulate a locking diff but not quite the real thing. Works well though!
