Does an Ibiza have a dual-mass flywheel?

After contradictory advice from two SEAT dealers and no response from SEAT's contact number, I'd like to know whether the new Ibiza ST fitted with the 1.2 TSI petrol engine (105PS) comes fitted with a dual mass flywheel.

I don't know. But DMFs are not generally a problem with small petrol engines anyway. They simply make drive take-up a bit smoother. The problem comes when they have to transmit a lot of torque at low revs - which is more typical with a diesel engine.
