SEAT Ibiza Hatchback FR 1.0 TSI 115PS 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Went for the 115 PS over the 95 as acceleration was better without sacrificing fuel economy. Certainly doesn't disappoint when overtaking, just be sure you're in the right gear. LED lights (option for me, now standard) are superb. There is an option to adjust the car's settings for sportier response etc but like probably 90% of people I never go there, the standard set up is more than adequate.
How reliable do you find the car?
Collision avoidance system is over sensitive. Had it adjusted twice as it can put up a warning and apply the brakes when approaching sharp corners (not every time), quite annoying and, I think, dangerous when you're not expecting it and you're paying full attention to the road. SEAT tried to charge me the second time for adjusting it until I pointed out that I think it's a safety feature. Stop/start can catch you out if you're in second gear and very low speed, the system will switch off the engine just as you want to accelerate leaving you stranded as it appears to take 2 seconds to restart the engine at that point.About their car
