SEAT Ibiza 5dr road test reports and car reviews

SEAT Ibiza 5dr SE 2008

Great little(?) car, very smooth and easy to drive, with a gutsy little engine that returns 45mpg on the trip computer in everyday driving. Fully loaded equipment that would cost over £3000 more for a similar fiesta with the same level of equipment. Fantastic looking with a superb ride in the SE version although. I test drove a sport version as well and the ride was fidgety on that, so I would recommend the SE. The interior quality is superb with no rattles or squeaks, and the quality of materials is like a Mini Audi, and the quality of plastics put the Fiesta to shame. Nice and quiet on the motorway with a lot less tyre noise than my father New Model Honda Jazz. The only downside is that the interior is a bit dull and dark, great from the drivers seat but boring for everyone else, try to spec one with the lighter dash pack at no extra cost as it makes all the difference. A very underrated car with a 14 week delivery time, we went to 3 dealers and were lucky to get a cancelled order for the colour that we wanted... a very underrated car, much better quality than a fiesta and a better drive than a Honda Jazz... try one you will be happy, we were!
