The Seat Ibiza is a car with some serious aspirations, despite having gone through the first part of its life simply as an affordable supermini with a slightly more youthful aesthetic that allowed you to save a few quid.
The Ibiza of today is a mature and practical car with an undeniably youthful edge - having plenty of idiosyncrasies running through the range that keep it well-balanced between seriousness and fun.
The standout model of the latest generation, the 1.2 TDi Ecomotive, is one of the most efficient motors in the supermini class, returning 80mpg and only emitting 92g/km CO2.
Efficiency isn’t all the Ecomotive has to offer, as it handles and rides comfortably with enhanced stability, but if you’re looking for something sportier, then the Cupra may be more to your liking.
The Ibiza may not yet be a market leader, but with its comfortable ride, exceptional economy, and responsive handling, it’s getting closer and closer with each iteration.
