SEAT Ibiza Hatchback (2008 - 2017) 1.2 TDI CR Ecomotive S Copa 5d (2012/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Sporty and stylish but reserved.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

It always was a head turner, very obvious vinyl wrap made it standout, but even the standard car, whilst kept clean, looked very 'fresh' and sporty.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would certainly buy such a car. Its economy alone was reason enough.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ibiza ST 1.2 TDI Ecomotive.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

July 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. I was fortunate enough to be loaned the car on a sponsorship deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Car supplied via sponsorship from DalesCornwall.co.uk.

What was the dealer like?

They couldn't have done more to help. Have subsequently bought other vehicles from them.

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly lively. Always felt much nippier and torquier than you would expect looking at the figures. Was always enjoyable to drive.

What's it like to park?

Easy, although I was always scared to scratch it as it wasn't mine. Being small was ideal, any space could be squeezed into.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, servicing was also cheap.

What's most practical about your car?

Fuel economy. 600 miles on a 42-litre tank (driven sensibly) is a definite highlight.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The AUX plugin along with all controls within reach of the wheel.
