The Mk3 and Mk4 Ibiza are completely different cars, one was designed in the early 90's the other in the early 00's!

tbf the size and interior ect are very similar......
going by what you wrote in another thread, skoda use bits that have already been tested on seat, vw and audi, so a fabia probably shares a lot of bits with an 02 ibiza dont you think? or is this another case of cs changing facts to make them relevant in a current argument?
just admit it, these fabias arent anything special

Mk3 ibiza is not the same as the mk4 platform that the fabia is based on, fact.
You thinking it's nothing special is your opinion, try and base your opinion on some fact though and possibly more than you having had a completely different car and that you sat in one.

No and no. You will pay about £400 more for a vrs that an Ibiza sport, considering how much you get I fail to see how they are overpriced at all unless you are comparing it to something shit like a Suzuki swift sport arguing it is also the 'sport' model

You mean they are both the same size? Interior is completely different, different chassis different car.
The fabia uses suspension taken from the mk4 golf chassis, also the pd tdi engine didn't come in the mk3 ibiza.
How can they be overpriced? New they were about 12k which is what you pay for the basic mini!

I love mine, the interior is fine except the white seats, I'm getting mine done in leather on Monday but other than that I love mine, the black roof is slick too. Spend a bit for stage 2 and you have a 220-230bhp car which will sit at 60mpg on motorway runs. I'm the first to admit I'd prefer a petrol turbo but the vRS costs me £500 on insurance, lowest quote for a Astra VXR or Cupra R was well over £2,000.

I have wondered about it's accuracy but yeah I'm going by the counter which I presume everyone else is who talks about MPG, they can't all be working it out manually.

I worked out how far out it was once then it was easy to work out from then on in.
