I own a seat ibiza 1.0 tsi 115hp for more than a year and i have to say that it is a great car for it's value. Enough space, enough power, enough handling. It feels like a quite big car on the road. You get a lot without spending a lot!

I've driven a Yaris for a number of years. Overall I've been really happy with it and it's given me no trouble engine-wise. But a couple of the interior plastics did break on me. A plastic cup over the end of the seatbelt snapped off, and the cap on the cigarette lighter snapped off. Mostly a good car though. Always appreciate the reliability and higher mpg too.

The plastic cap for the 12V socket breaking after few miles is a feature of Toyota!!! A common feature of any Yaris :) My 2006, 2012 and also 2015 Yaris had it break. Just put a nice USB adapter in it and its good looking XDDDDDDDDDD

Hello. From 8 months I'm driving Fabia (2017) 1.0 with LPG. 99% trips are in city conditions (uber driver). I have to tell that this car is so good. Engine is good enough for city driving, no need more power. Best is fuel consumption around 6-6.5L LPG, 8-8.5L petrol (per 100km). Cant compare to other two but you did it :) Anyway, great video mate, good talking, no bulls.t!

I've been waiting for a Honda Jazz review for years! Grrr.

Nobody has mentioned the word ' Depreciation ' . You will find the Yaris will hold it's value the best .

I kind of expected the Ibiza to win this one, given that it's generally considered the best in class, or close to it, and certainly helped by being the newest by far. It's a big car though, for a supermini - about 75mm longer than the Fabia, tipping it well past that magic 4 metre mark. About the same length as a Golf Mk. 3, in fact.

Impressed with the change of clothing for the Ibiza leg/headroom shots. Seamless ;-)

Really love the reviews! I would like to see a review of the 2019 Porsche Panamera.

The Fabia has got decent knee room in the back. It's just that the Monte Carlo models have bulky Sport seats. If you just get a different trim, the legroom will be fine.

I have the 2019 Fabia Combi 1.0 75hp petrol... It can be a bit under-powered sometimes but it makes up with great value, great fuel consumption and great equipment. I was thinking of going with the Ibiza but it was a bit over my budget and it didn't have that big boot that the Škoda has (530 liters)... What I would say are the drawbacks of Škoda are not a lot of room at the backseat and a 75hp engine is not for those who like to have a "sporty drive and response" and overtaking someone on the highway is reaaaaally slow... and it can be noisy in high revs. It's a daily driver for a small family (or a new family), great fuel economy and equipment and a great boot -> that is what I was going for. Great Video!

@pequenollama

I've got the same engine but not on the combi version. I think it is quite good. I do not like to drive fast (over the speed limit) and if you stick to it I find it powerful enough. When I have to overtake in secondary roads I just lower a gear for more power. At least here in Spain you can get a fully equipped Fabia for the same price as a bare bones Ibiza or polo. I have not regrets, great car for the price.

of these three cars, the Yaris is the comfiest for those who are disabled i think it might be because of the suspension but trust me the front seats on the higher spec models are the best especially on those horrid bumpy roads of the UK.

The difference is Toyota petrol engines last 300k miles whereas these VAG TSI engines have premature timing chain, oil pump and turbo failure.

The Yaris’ boot is perfect for golf clubs. Take the longest clubs out, put the bag in, then the clubs you’ve taken out the bag fit perfectly in the indentations towards the front of the boot.

Why some people like flat bottom steering wheels in road cars?

Dad has a Yaris and can fit his golf clubs in with ease - remove the taller clubs, put the bag in, then slot the clubs into the indents in the panels either side - the heads at the right, the grips at the left. He had to put the longer clubs behind the front seats in his 2015 Corsa and 2011 Picanto....

Isn't the crease in the dashboard for heating the front windscreen? My last Ibiza had one and my current Leon has one as well although both of them do seem to be further back than the one shown in the new Ibiza.

The yaris obviously. Best car ever made

"People hate it when I throw car parts about.." *Throws car part* "But this car deserves it" MADLAD. Rekt.

I've got a Fabia, and it has Apple Carplay & Android Auto. Works exactly the same as the ibiza just on a but of a smaller screen

Are the 3 cylinders mpi good for the fabia or is the 1.2 90hp noticeably better?

Gf has a 2018 ibiza. If you can get along with DSG, it's a great car. Nippy, functional, quite spacious in the back, has all the bells and whistles, looks ok. I despise DSG with a passion though. It has a mind of its own and it pulls some weird shit sometimes. I really, really hate that. If you're looking into buying a car with DSG, consider renting it for a week or two. Seriously, it's that bad (for me) and you really gotta be sure if you want that. I drove a passat, golf, ibiza (duh) and it's not just the ibiza. The shifts are smooth no complaints there but same amount of gas/brake yield different results each time with the cars! Sometimes it pounces forward, sometimes it doesnt. Same applies for reverse. Sometimes you brake just a little and the car brakes itself twice as hard, stopping you abrubtly. Oh and the lane keep assist will try to kill you.

Do the 2019 Tuscon. Am really curious about your opinion.

I’ll pick the Seat too. It’s new, sporty and it’s a great car. The boot for the Skoda is a bit restricted width wise, so it’s a minus. The Toyota has small boot, cheap interior.

Yaris Hybrid. Comparing a small car on three adults in the back or three massive suitcases is a bit daft. It will usually get used for one or two adults in the front and one or two kids in the back. For that it's got plenty of space, the Hybrid has plenty of low down guts thanks to the electric motor, good mpg, it's not going to break anytime soon and it's got no silly distractions inside - it's just a car that works as a car. Have a look at used prices and you soon see which are the throw away after a few years cars and which is the one people will still pay for. On that point if you take in depreciation and all running costs the Yaris is way cheaper to own aswell. If you need to carry three adults or a rugby team's worth of luggage you should buy a car that's suited to it.

@kostasmats7922

5 жыл бұрын

Some people are on a budget and they don't want to overspend or they can't afford to buy a car that is suited for 3 adults or a rugby team, so VAG is spot on with the Ibiza as they can suit everyone from singles to families. The Yaris and the rest of the supermini class, except the Baleno as far as i know, are for singles or couples with no children or second family cars. I have the Ibiza with the 115bhp engine for 16 months now and i am totally satisifed with it, it is comfortable with the 185/65/15 tyres, i like the looks, the engine is punchy, fuel economy is more than descent, easy to drive for my wife's daily commute, we go on trips with our son,our dog and all our luggage, we pay low tax/year, it does everything very good, considering the price and my expectations, i knew what i was buying. If it turns out to be reliable, no problems so far,it will prove to be an excellent choice.

Its amazing how my Toyota Yaris II (2007) was such a fun and cinvenient little car. Center console design out of space age, rear seat folding flat, nifty storage spaces everywhere, like that car had 8 cupholders etc. It was a brave design by all means, wrecked by a shitty multimode transmission. Shame. No more brave stuff from Toyota.

I guess that one buys Fabia in GB to carry mostly one or two people as well as people in SK and CZ do. So the back leg room is most likely not a decisive parameter. And I can confirm good leg room in Yaris, tried today. Most likely, at the same price, you get more features in Toyota - rear camera, safety sense... Just the touchscreen is old fashioned in the Japanese. It depends what you need this car for and which features are your priorities.
