SEAT Ibiza (2002 - 2009) 1.2 S 3d (04) (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It's a pretty average car to be honest, although I do like the look.

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

It's just a car. They think it's ok.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I'm not sure, I would have said yes in the first 6 months of owning it but now I'm not so sure. It could be that I bought it just as things started needing attention though, because although it's an older car I got it with a low mileage so it's possible things are just cropping up as they would do naturally.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably something bigger in a couple of years to take on an expanding family.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,500

When did you buy the car?

March 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Reasonably good yes.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Fine

What's it like to drive?

Quite nice. It's a smooth and fairly quiet drive. The reverse gear sometimes doesn't want to play, but other than that it's a nice drive.

What's it like to park?

Quite easy. There is good visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

A few issues here and there. Nothing major but I have had trouble with unexplainable faults and engine management lights. My ABS also needs looking into, although this could be general wear and tear.

What's most practical about your car?

The way the seats fold down to create a pretty sizeable boot space comparitively speaking.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
