SEAT Ibiza 1.4 CLS 3d (1996/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value for money, like my old Polo, but cheaper and more sporty.
Costs
It's a bit thirsty round town, I find myself filling up regularly. But it got to Edinbrugh and back (from North East of England) on a full tank of petrol.

On the road
Driving
The car drives quite nicely, but the power steering makes it a bit slack and easy. But it is fun to drive.
Performance
Performs well. Feels a bit ropey at speed, but it is nippy in the lower gears, topping out somewhat in the higher gears, nothing that a few adjustments wont solve.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable, has never let me down. VW engine so reliability is guaranteed, it's only done 50,000 miles, but my Polo had done 110,000 and it performed exactly the same. I have found that the Seat is very reliable, it's always started, never let me down.
Image
I really like the look of the Ibiza, it has a sporty image.
Comfort
Not too comfy, but it is a nice car to be in, spacious.

Security
