diesel seat ibiza vs 206/306 - Pablo
Ahh well, my H 205 turbodiesel although only 165k has reached the stage where ancilaries are starting to fail. No short runs & hants to cornwall weekly so it has to be on form. Scan of this site, HJ books & others boils my £5kmax + whatever 205 p/ex to seat ibiza turbo diesel, or 206/306 turbo job. 206/306 'coz interior of 206 & vehicle size seen remarkably close to its "bigger" bro. Also have vw golf, so have afinity with both marques. Soooo given that I'm going to keep for similiar mileage which do you all rate? Love the german build & lower price of seat. But are there any hidden pitfalls?Something of a fan of vw warrantys as they replaced the failed hood on my cab f.o.c. Oh, just to completely stir it up, is it still worth going diesel?

sounds like you've talked your way already into the seat, as such. No 206 in your budget boy! How about autoexpress car of the year 2 years running, skoda feliaewotsit? VW owned too. & no I don't work for them. What about older golf td anyhow?
HJ, what's your call?
Me, I'd have another 205- I love mine.
