SEAT Ibiza FR 1.8T - Ideal First Warm/Hot Hatch? [Cheap Thrills Ep.3] Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to another episode of 'Cheap Thrills', the series in which I cover fun cars for under £5,000. Some of you may recognise the car featured this time around as it's a 2006 SEAT Ibiza FR that used to belong to me and now belongs to my dad. The FR, which stands for 'Formula Racing', acts as a halfway house between a standard Ibiza, and the fire-breathing Cupra, and even to this day that is the case, although Cupra has become its own brand of course. Sadly, there's no current Cupra Ibiza, but let's hope that comes in the future. Under the bonnet of the FR is a 1.8 litre turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine offering 150hp, along with 220Nm of torque. 0-62 comes in 8.4 seconds, and the top speed is 134mph. This power is fed to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual. For those thrifty amongst us, there was also the choice of a 1.9 litre diesel. 0:00 Pre-video hook 0:04 Channel Intro 0:15 Video Intro 0:44 Ibiza FR Refamiliarisation 1:25 Ibiza FR Engine 2:07 This is all reminiscent 3:33 Deceiving with its power 4:04 Ibiza Cupra 4:20 Turbo lag 4:52 Gearchange 5:20 Seating position 5:40 Pedal placement/weight 6:26 Ride comfort 7:27 Remembering the first drive 8:08 This thing flies! 8:40 Handling/Steering 9:26 Good project car? 9:48 Styling 10:53 Weight 11:15 Reliability/Ownership experience 13:15 Why did I get rid of it? 14:36 Conclusion 16:08 Outro Site: http://carobsession.co.uk/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/carobsessionuk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carobsessionuk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carobsessionuk/ CHECK OUT CAR OBSESSION MERCH: https://ctrlandshift.com/collections/car-obsession Like the effects in my video?
