SEAT Ibiza Sport Coupe (08 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 04 August 2008 Last Updated: 12 April 2012 Shorter and lower than the five-door Ibiza, the Sport Coupe is the name SEAT has given to the three-door version of its small hatchback. It looks similar from the front with the same sharp nose and distinctive headlights, but the big differences are at the back where the redesigned side window and rear pillars give it a more coupe-like appearance. It's good to drive, just like the five-door model, plus there are different suspension settings available including a sports set-up. Inside it's modern and unfussy with a good driving position but while the boot is a decent size the rear seats are cramped and legroom is limited. That's one of few gripes though and overall the Ibiza SC is a stylish and well-equipped small hatchback. In October 2010 a 1.2-litre TSI engine was added to the line-up. Despite the small size the engine is impressive and an excellent combination of economy and performance. 4.5 out of 5 Other SEAT reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £9,995 - £14,325 View all new prices Used price range: £4,693 - £16,144 View all used prices See 13 new models for sale from £8,995 Get a SEAT Ibiza Sport Coupe (08 on) information pack Next steps SEAT Ibiza Sport Coupe cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
