Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Sporty ride - the Ibiza's party piece. It's got fat low profile tyres and firm suspension so it loves to go round corners. There's not a massive amount of power (it's 1.4 after all) but considering, it's pretty nippy. But there's enough to drive on the motorway for a distance without it annoying you. When you're on A and B roads, it's zippy, but you have to rev it a bit.
What's it like to park?
Light steering, so not a lot of effort required, but there isn't a lot of visibility out of the back
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had it a couple of weeks, but nothing seems to be a problem
What's most practical about your car?
Light steering at slow speeds, very easy to whiz around town.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The adaptive steering, at slow speeds the steering goes really light and it makes it dead easy to drive at slow speeds. At cruising speed it gets much stiffer and isn't at all twitchy on the motorway.
