For Undoubtedly the Ibiza's most attractive feature is its pricing, but the quality of the ride and handling is impressive. It's also cheap to run, sturdy, safe and well equipped.
Against The interiors are not up to the class best and space is tight in the rear seats. The engines feel underpowered and are noisy when revved hard.
What Car? says
A composed and comfortable supermini, if not the very best in its class.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The attraction of Seat’s supermini centres on its good looks, keen pricing, low running costs, a decent amount of safety kit and relatively generous specifications. But, haggle hard; you can expect to get a useful reduction from the list prices.
There's a wide range of petrol and diesel engines available, including everything from the 'green' Ecomotive models to the hot FR and Cupra. However, although the handling is predictable, the car isn’t as enjoyable to drive as, say, a Ford Fiesta.
The Ibiza makes up for this to an extent with a generous equipment list (even the base S trim has electric front windows, central locking and a CD player), and safety features including twin front and side airbags. The car scored a maximum five stars from Euro NCAP for crash protection.
