2005 seat Ibiza reviews

SEAT Ibiza FR TDi 130 2005

It’s a smart looking little car, with not too many on the road. It has loads of torque- 229lb/ft so it’s easy to drive around town but is still capable of returning 65-75mpg on a long run, if driven right! Best not to use the 130mph top speed then! Inside it’s reasonably well equipped, though the trim feels a little cheap in places, but show me a car that doesn’t these days. The ride is a bit hard, but it handles well enough despite the inert steering- not a patch on my old Peugot 306 XSi in this respect! A few minor niggles have sent it back to the dealer, but it has been cheap to run and insure and everyone is jealous of the fuel economy, even at todays stupid prices £50 will get you 600 miles per tank on a run. I will be sorry to see it go!
