In that case a the saxo wont piss a stage 1 cupra as they put in mid 14s to 15s.
The ibiza will be cheaper to tune aswell.

Depends what you want from a car?
Is the ibiza's handling that bad or is it like the Corsa's, not great? (i haven't driven an Ibiza)
Im not comparing the ibiza to a corsa im comparing with the saxo

Sorry mate my fault. It was mainly for my reference.
I was trying to say that it can't be that bad on the handling (like the corsa's).
As for performance. I'm sure it'll all depend on how much your wanting to spend £££££££

Oh right, the first post didnt make it to clear.
Ok
Straight line buzz - ibiza
Twisties - saxo
The ibiza is much nicer to drive and doesn't have the chav image to go with it.

I think it's any car with a "loud" exhaust, ppl think is chav....
Anyway back on subject.
For me i go for the interior of a car. Coz when your driving it your there 90% of the time 
I'd vote for the Ibiza.

i can tell anyone from experience of owning a 230bhp leon, my standard pug 106 still feels faster, even though its probably not, and is a lot more fun to drive, being a young lad still rob, youl get bored with the ibiza, just like cuprasteve did

Cammed saxo won't beat an ibiza, with a stage one map. I should know. A mate in town has a sliver saxo that has been cammed, He couldn't get past me, and top end, bye bye saxo. However in the twistys it's a different story  .

Maybe 'a' cammed saxo will, but i'm telling you this particual saxo did not. And all this about ibiza's handling bad is rubbish. Rob i suggest you drive one, they supprised me. I got in it expecting it not to handle very well, but it handles better than my old corsa, by a long shot.
