The range of engines that are on offer with the Ibiza have been dubbed “a little confusing” by some, as long as you know what you want to start with though, it shouldn’t prove too daunting.
The petrol engines available are 1.2, 1.4 and a 1.8T. The first two have a nice sporty sound and are good performers round town, while remaining relatively economical. Up from this there is the 1.8T, which along with the diesel 1.4 and 1.9 TDI offer considerable pulling power, making overtaking a breeze – even in 4th!
Overall the Ibiza handles very well, with the smaller engines not offering as much enjoyment as their larger counterparts. Round corners, the Ibiza feels very confident, with little body roll. Although the stiffer suspension does offer a “sportier” drive, it can prove slightly uncomfortable on less than perfect roads.
The cabin is relatively airy, although the curved back offers less headroom in the rear. The boot offers a modest 267 litres and although there is a 60/40 split on the backseats, its practicality is hampered.
Equipment wise the Ibiza is pretty well stocked. The range starts with “Reference”, which comes with electric windows, remote central locking and ABS. Moving up from this sees the addition of the usual “extras”, with the range toping “Cupra” adding electronic brake assist, 17-inch alloy wheels and SEAT Racing brakes.
If you’re on the look out for a car that isn’t going to empty your wallet, then the Ibiza may be the perfect option, with cheap car insurance premiums generally being the norm. It scored an excellent four out of five on Euro NCAP’s safety tests and all models are kitted out with twin airbags, deadlocks and an immobiliser.
If you opt for one of the smaller engines, the Ibiza can also work out very economical, this coupled with its low CO2 emissions further help bring down motor insurance and tax costs.
