The model

The Seat Ibiza is one of the best small cars you can buy, thanks to its fun handling, roomy interior and low running costs. Go for the 1.0 TSI 95 engine and SE Technology or FR trim to get the best value for money.

The trim

See full equipment

Moving up from SE trim to SE Technology get you a more sophisticated 8.0in infotainment system and larger 16in alloys.

The engine

See full engine specs

This entry-level 79bhp petrol engine is best avoided, because with no turbocharger to boost performance at low revs, it needs to be worked incredibly hard if you want to get anywhere in a hurry.
