Seat Ibiza with 95 hp three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine takes on the best possible shape.
Pagella
Sporty in its lines, very spacious and not very thirsty: these are the trump cards of the 1.0-horsepower Seat Ibiza 95 TSi. The engine is great and the fuel economy does not make the diesel fuel to be regretful, also because the 1.6 TDI costs 2.700 euros more. The technological equipment of the XCellence version is also good. Ibiza costs a little less than its cousin (even if it's almost a twin) Polo, but devalues even more.
La Seat Ibiza we like the last generation: it is sculptural, mature, modern, even a little masculine, here it may not be in color Royal purple sample of our test. We said: an adult car. Compact SUV of the Spanish company thanks to the onboard platform. MQB A0 (the one used by the VW Group for segment B vehicles) is much more roomy and more agile and fun to corner, which never hurts. There is plenty of space for both rear passengers and suitcases, which have trunk really generous of 355 liters.
Version XCellence Our production test has everything you could want from a car in this segment: cruise control, rear parking sensors, LED headlights, 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and a multifunction leather steering wheel....

CITY
In the city Seat Ibiza it can be operated with two fingers: the controls are light and the trim is soft but not soft, 1.0 TSI three-cylinder turbo petrol from 95 CV I don't mind a diesel engine at all: it is bright, super-elastic and gains momentum well even in fifth gear (to get sixth, you need to take the 115 hp version), but what surprises me is that you can travel 4,7 liters / 100 km mixed, if sloppy 5, which is all the same more than 20 km per liter... Like all three cylinders, it vibrates a little at high revs, but is fairly quiet at the bottom of the tachometer.
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Le wide track and new rigid frame transfer to Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI great maneuverability. When cornering, the car remains level and balanced, it is pleasant to drive and to experience stress. The steering is direct and talkative enough, and the rear, when provoked, moves just enough to make cornering easier. This is a car that is a pleasure to drive in any situation, relaxation in most sensations and fun when needed.
шосе
