SEAT Ibiza 1.9TDi Sport 3d (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I'm not sure that £13k is fantastic value, but then again 130bhp is worth paying for. Standard spec is incredible value, though.
Costs
20,000 miles an no new tyres yet. Servicing costs as advertised.

Driving
Marvellous... Fast, fun and practical!
Performance
Rapid... but also happy pottering in town. 2nd gear is my personal favourite.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from a blockage in the fuel pipe on delivery, it's been fine. I've replaced both headlamp bulbs (which went at the same time) and the rear wiper cowl.
Image
Smart without being ostentatious or vulgar.
Comfort
Rise is a little stiff, but firm seats suit me. Air con and CD as standard.

Security and Service
Security
Hasn't been nicked yet, although when someone tried to get in at traffic lights, the wife was very glad of the auto locking, even if it does confuse every passenger!
Service
Dealer in Cheltenham is superb. Highly recommended.
