    5 out of 5 5.0

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Yes, just after buying it I drove it 4 miles down the road and it broke down, to be fair it wasn’t the dealer’s fault the fuel pump hadn’t been connected properly. It was also sorted out really quickly, given a courtesy car (which I couldn’t drive because of my age) and they then delivered my car to me before noon the next day. Never had a problem since although I have not had the car that long.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Its very small in the back and the boot is tiny compared to other ibiza's because the battery is under the spare wheel

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    cruise control, its fantastic.
