4.6 Overall rating
(14 reviews)The cars features are really good for a 2012. I think the price of car was very good for the condition of it.
Just got the seat abiza, and I love it, quite nippy for 1.4 petrol, nice size boot, nice looking interior, all and all a very nice car.
My expectations were high, considering that it is really a VW Polo at much less price. The drive is smooth and quiet and it handles beautifully on all roads, but loves the motorway. First class.
Great car - It was me that bought it! It has given me the excitement in driving again. Its only a car - but I love it. Thought I always liked big cars - the Seat Ibiza is a little car that feels like a big one. Although it goes round corners like its on rails.
Great small hatchback with a lively and gutsy powerful turbo 1 lt engine, goes very well, greatly impressed by the performance and. Power. Its quiet, spacious and Haa great tech to assist the driver. Buy one!
