The Seat Ibiza looks distinctive, is fun to drive, and is practical enough for a small family.
-
It uses a new generation of mechanical parts from the Volkswagen Group, which owns Seat.
-
It's only available as a five-door car, even in this sportier FR trim, which includes 17in alloy wheels, tinted rear windows and back side mirrors.
-
Most engines in the Seat Ibiza are nippy, and the car is agile, which makes it fun to drive. But it's also good at absorbing bumps on rough roads.
-
All but the cheapest S versions of the Seat Ibiza come with a chrome grille surround and front foglights. The 16in alloy wheels fitted to this car are standard on the top-of-the-range Xcellence model.
-
The interior of Seat Ibiza FR cars like this one comes with sportier-looking red stitching on the steering wheel, as well as the seats. The big 8in Media System Plus touchscreen, with sat-nav and Apple CarPlay is standard.
-
Rear seat room in the Seat Ibiza is excellent for a car of its size. Two adults will fit in the back without too many complaints, but three is a squeeze.
-
The Seat Ibiza's boot is an enormous 355 litres, which is class-leading.
