Living with a...Seat Ibiza

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?

Love these long term tests

[@NZsarge1]

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.

ford has been having a freaking saga of recalls but curiously these reviewres dont care. heck, hyundai and kia also had massive recalls and no one cares, only if it is German related www.reuters.com/article/us-ford-recall/ford-recalls-1-38-million-vehicles-for-loose-steering-wheel-bolts-idUSKCN1GQ1QW www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/hyundai-kia-recall-engine-failures www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2017-08-22-fords-third-safety-recall-after-yet-another-fire-threat-to-kuga/

Car Freak There you go again trying to tell me what I think, it’s clear you don’t know what I think otherwise I wouldn’t constantly need to explain it to you so with that said I’m not going to bother yet again. I’ll just leave you with, no, you’re wrong.

[@NZsarge1]

Car Freak Err, no. Re-read my previous post.

[@NZsarge1]

Car Freak I’m a GTR fan too, particularly the R33 and 34. I had a R33 GTS-T coupe and always coveted the GTR but had plenty of good times in my “lesser” Skyline

[@NZsarge1]

Car Freak I am but I’ve said before I’ve had many Japanese cars, listing them all the cars I’ve had would be a little boring

[@loic_vrbg]

I love the Seat Ibiza, I'm a huge fan of Seat ! 😉

[@kevinparr4823]

6 months with no reliability issue WOW that's truly amazing 😂😂😂. The Mrs has a Toyota Yaris for 6 years with no issues 😏

[@paultaylor9652]

Another well balanced review, one of the better looking supermini 's out of the VW box.

[@nodbag6301]

Very helpful review - thanks

[@nosleeppete5146]

Good review. Thanks

[@MrinmoysTV]

[@R_ehanR]

My uncle has a seat Ibiza fr 2009 nd for a 2009 supercharged turbo petrol engine 4 cylinder its sharp and fast and lovely even on drive and wen u close the window u cant here a sound such a lovely car!

[@kevinworrall3331]

Really good review 👍👍

[@Edsthemeparks]

Great car had mine two months, can’t fault it.

[@CSI760]

SEAT cars are not available in the US. But, they are sold in Mexico for as low as (the equivalent of) $13,000 dollars. That's unreal. Why can't we get these imported to the US?

[@20shourya]

are you telling me the cars in the US don't come with any seats? Like the Flintstones'?

[@amrdel2730]

Because you american love bog bulky cars and trucks while zuropeans and north africa medeteraneans love these small hatchbacks with manual gearboxes

[@butchmeister80]

Went from a golf Gti into an Fr isn’t bad a bit slow but handles well

[@MiniEggs1999]

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

[@bwmim9709]

Mini Eggs yesss

[@izakgsm8160]

I love it ♥️

[@ankledsquid]

Technically, it isn't against the fabia and the polo. It's almost exactly the same car

[@amrdel2730]

So they are same ibiza polo and fabia ?? In mechanic n tech terms where is the difference is it in aesrhetics and flzvor

[@ankledsquid]

@@amrdel2730 both cars use the ao6 platform, as well as sharing many parts between their models. To drive and to own these cars are more or less identical Newsflash VW group owns skoda and vw

[@SuperWHIZZO]

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

[@djalilderr2831]

A volkswagen polo 2018 is a better choice for 2000$ more ? Or this is good

[@PaulGregory86]

Is the air co really that bad?

[@Bates.Eral1]

That's funny I know someone who had an ibiza for 13 years done 130,000 miles not a touch of trouble q

[@karimabbou4386]

The best compact car ibiza

[@peakreactivesr3504]

Which country are you from

[@Backinblack10001]

They’ve proper toned this car down now. 95bhp in a FR trim Zzzzzz where’s the Ibiza cupra???

[@Account1746]

Took a pill in Ibiza

[@peakreactivesr3504]

Is this car available in Canada ?

[@Zalq]

Only México, also CUPRA

[@amrdel2730]

Europe north africa this car is selling great

[@skullfucker3381]

heated steering wheel? eh....

[@MattUK36]

E-bee-tha you're welcome :)

[@chewbster]

Matt Owen E-bee-tsuh!

[@gebesimben]

Not a single word about safety? Why?

[@vhira]

I don’t understand why did Seat have use wind down windows in the back not the electric ones

[@ao2567]

it comes on mine 4 electric windows and mine aren't even a fr model. but its an 2019. its even got automatic wind in side windows when locked.

[@kerimcil169]

Nice auto.. EuroNcap 5

[@Grumpycat95]

With your ridiculous laws people can't even survive in a ford ka

[@VWLuka]

Steering wheel on the wrong side :D

[@LightningMcqueenFan-vf2hh]

PszczulkaMaya They drive on the left in the UK so the steering wheel is on the right side.

[@dariusnikbin1695]

Spanish... CND

[@commentguy7]

Thicc...i am not talking about the car

[@amrdel2730]

[@SHEPARD22]

A very uncomfortable car to drive

[@Cole_King]

Turbocharged with 95 bhp 😂😂😂😂

[@M135iboost]

Looks like the new fiesta

[@tomasmalin]

No, it doesn't.

[@fighterofthedreams1245]

Bullshit. Not at all.

[@minniesaab7255]
