... a quality finish and paintwork, and essentially are a less expensive alternative to the VW Polo. The competitors to this car would be the Vauxhall Astra, the Hyundai Accent or the Fiat Punto. Originally this car cost £7,300 new, and would now be available in the range of £2,000 to £2,600. As such it is competitively priced. It is quite well equipped though I find the standard issue radio a bit weak, and miss such items as electric windows, sunroof etc, a reasonably basic car then. As regards running costs, the car...more

Well, a good and a sad day has arrived on our household. The good point is that we are getting on so well that we are going down to one car. The sad point is that the other 'arf is lumbered with me, no really.. Eeer both car's are going and she has asked me to write a requiem for her much loved baby, her light blue P Reg, Seat Ibiza 1.0 CL hatchback 3 door 1043cc. It's a 1996 model that she has owned for two years, and has covered 33,500 miles altogether. It is quite an attractive looking car, and this one has the added attraction of a very nice looking set of alloy wheels. To further improve the other 'arfs impression of me I've been doing ...

I wouldn't say that I love my Ibiza but is a very good car. Apart from a couple of accidents (My fault) and a cambelt breaking twice. Should have changed it at 70,000 yes I know that I am woman but I did know that. My dad did teach me a thing or two. Like check oil and water every week and buy the Haynes manual for you car. It is a G reg. Ibiza with a 1.2 engine. It is going rusty in a couple of places but that could all be due to the fact that I hardly ever wash my car and have never waxed it. It runs on small tyres 155/13 which you can get budget for about £22-25 depending on where you go. Best to ring around and then pick the nearest and then check ... Read the complete review

I've had my F reg Seat Ibiza "designer" for about seven years. I have no wish to part with it due to its unfailing reliability. the mechanics who have looked it over have even commented on what a good little car it is. Sure, it doesn't have all your fancy trimmings. It only has about a 950 engine (cheap car tax though)and the original seat coverings have worn out, but this car has style and even given its age it is very reliable. It has five gears - practically unheard of in a car with such a small engine, and I can get it up to 80+ mph without too much trouble. The Seat's bodywork is also something to bear in mind ...

This car was definetly not a friend of mine! The only reason I bought it was that an ex-school friend of mine was the manager at the garage I bought it from and gave me £750 part exchange for my battered clapped out little Fiesta. While the car itself wasn;t all bad - it had central locking and a stereo, it was a bit basic. It didn;t have electric windows, no sunroof, no airconditioning, no ABS and no power steering. Not all of these are essential I will admit, but having now got a car with ABS, I'd never have another one that didn't have ABS, on account of the fact that if it wasn;t for ABS I wouldn;t be writing this now! Although it does ... Read the complete review
