SEAT Ibiza Hatchback (08 on) - Review

SEAT has spiced up the Ibiza with a distinctive new model from July 2008 boasting a roomier, better quality interior and a simplified model range. It ranks among the best in class for interior space and practicality while those sharp lines in the styling also promise an engaging drive. SEAT has dumped its Essence, Reference and Stylance model name strategy, which began in 2004 and returned to the familiar S, SE and Sport grades which are far less confusing. However, it's perhaps remiss in these environmentally-conscious times that the lower emission versions are only available in lower specification equipment grades. In October 2010 an impressive 1.2-litre TSI engine was added to the line-up offering an excellent combination of economy and performance.
