SEAT Ibiza Cupra test drive since 2009 hatchback

Emotion with labels

The tape of the highway flies under 17-inch wheels. But you understand that this playful image is simply boring on the ideal leverage of asphalt. What he asks for a turn on the nearest ecest! Let's play where the mountain serpentine is, where the turn follows the bend! It is difficult to disagree with him. Someone, and Ibiza Cupra knows a lot about such tracks!
I understand those who, touching the appearance of the new Ibiza, turned out to be, let’s say, in the shortage of impressions from how the car behaved in basic versions. Just the appearance pushed her to the expectations of her, doll! Or him? Ibiza Cupra by the nature of oh is not a girl! Rather, a lively guy, a kid, charged on pranks and adventures. And his paraphernalia is not glamorous: carbon, prostrated skin and label label everywhere! Black lining over the Cupra air intake! Behind under the SEAT Cupra icon! You open the door of the seats, thresholds, instrument panels, seven -speed DSG Cupra, Cupra, Cupra!
In a large family of Volkswagen Iko, the Spaniards got the Emocion self -expression field, emotion. ITOTH AT AND THE SAME ALL ALL! Infinitely lightweight, inspiring Ivharacter. There are no boring flowers. Reded with blood color, blue at least with an example, put the cornflowers, red -haired oranges are filled with sprinkle, the yellow is the same, the same, dimensional, dear! It can with emotion even so white or dark gray color that, it seemed, there is nowhere neutral!
A chubby bagel, reminiscent of a truncated shape and multi -factory of finishing the steering wheel of computer games, in hands. The instruments resting at half -past half of the instruments wake up in deep wells, the DSG hilt is pleasantly in the palm of your palm to be soon forgotten for a long time. While we are away from Motorvee, on the segment of an abandoned old highway, steering wheel petals rule. Eh, maybe you had to go with everyone? Where, where are the routes of special-membranes of the catalonia rally? No, it is too perfect there, but here the asphalt is not mirror, and in places in the turns on it is already dirt.
It is more true somehow, especially for us. And our kid is not afraid to stain a fashionable outfit! The wheels are large, and the 180-horsepower two-fiber engine 1.4 TSI is in no hurry to turn them even with the stabilization system disconnected. Yes, and don't! Acceleration does not squeeze out and does not try to transfer horsepower into the whistle of the tires, but begins to busily and still merrily drag. I am convinced that in Sport mode, a two clutch box honestly holds the momentum before cutting down (it strives to switch from 3400 to 4500 revolutions in the drive), and again to manual mode. Click the petal under the wheel up. In acceleration, Cupra does not seek to escape from the trajectory (thanks to the electronic imitation of the XDS lock), the suspension practices small irregularities. Clicking down in front of a steep turn now it is time to load the brakes. They are good, but the feeling of the first grabbing, that very first bite is slightly leveled. But he is replaced by a confident slowdown, more than sufficient for a light car. And you press a little stronger and here it is, such a delicious light skidding of the rear axle, losing a short Cupra in a turn and resembling Polo GTI.
Yes, comparisons cannot be avoided. Surely, in the direct comparison, these machines will be very close in characteristics. But the fact that Ibiza Cupra’s emotions is capable of giving much more of its classmates, it causes little doubts. She has a credo such Auto Emocione!
