2017 SEAT Ibiza FR Review - The Best Small Car In Europe? - Car Keys

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It might be small, but the SEAT Ibiza has always been one of those cars which feels bigger than it is, less in terms of dimensions but rather in how grown up it feels.
These days, it gives best-in-class cars like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo a serious, proper run for their money with its blend of sharp looks, a broad range of talents and plenty of modern, advanced equipment.
We’ve tested the all-new 2017 Ibiza, which has received a fairly significant update over the previous model. It’s now wider, lower and sleeker to look at than ever before - certainly more like a mini-Leon - and packed with new stuff. In fact, SEAT says this is the best small car in Europe. Bold claims, but maybe not totally unfounded.

Considering its Age its quite a nice car and If I had the money to buy a brand new car, I would properbly wait for the 1.5 TSI engine in the new Ibiza... 150 HP and the FR Trim would be sporty enough for me although the last gen Cupra 1.8T will properbly be more iconic in the long run...

    ekim andersom, people who have children give a fuck. Children like messing and it's too easy for them to unwind a window whilst you're driving. You can't reach around to do it up, they could be throwing things out of it or you could just simply not know the window has been left open and come back to soaking back seat etc.

    ekim andersom Have you sat in the previous generation Fiesta? Journalists would always complain about the infotainment, that it was difficult to use. It isn't difficult to use, it's self explanatory, but scared people with the number of buttons. The previous Fiesta had a soft-touch dash, and soft-touch plastics all over the car. Ibiza doesn't offer that in this current form, or in any of its predecessors. The new Fiesta is even more comfortable that the previous one, and tablet-like Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use and nice to look at. Ibiza is ugly, plasticy and boring. Even the Fabia has a nicer looking and better feeling interior than the Ibiza.
