Living with a...Seat Ibiza

Friday 13 April 2018 6 K

The small hatchback class certainly isn’t short of cars, but a good small car has to be a great all-rounder.

Rachael has spent six months with the Seat Ibiza, which is up against the likes of the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, and, the UK’s best-selling car ever… the Ford Fiesta. How has she got on, what has she liked and disliked about the car, and how close is it to the top of the class?

150ps is not 150bhp

Really good review 👍👍

I’ve had my Ibiza for about the same amount of time as they did and couldn’t recommend it more to anyone. I actually don’t agree with negative points. They only negative about the car I have is there is no light in the glove box

"Comes with a 5-speed Manuel gearbox " . No bull. Real. and athletico .

Rebecca would you choose this over your long term Mazda 3 ? Thanks

So called reliability surveys are a very loose guide that personally I put little weight behind. I like the design and colour, the interior isn’t going to blow anyone away but it’s better than average for class and good where it counts. I’d have the 1.5 litre though, it’d be quite a nippy wee roller skate.

Love these long term tests

I guess the Brits love their unreliable sh*theaps like the whole VW group range of Ibizas, Polos and Fabiasand the rather retarded Ford Fiesta.

You could actually a have a decent small car like a Mazda 2, a Toyota Yaris, but hey, I guess they're not as "fun" to drive. As if in those you don't have to press pedals and turn the steering wheel.
