Customer Reviews of the Seat Ibiza Hatchback

Generally I am very satisfied. The car has some excellent features. The only [slight] aggravation I have is with the technology that controls driver behaviour and the warnings that sometimes take you by surprise when on road that has a succession of bends - like the road at the end of our drive [A85]. Suddenly the brake will come on with a sharp jolt and there is a loud warning note, though the car is under perfect control. The setting seemingly does not cater adequately for country roads that are full of bends. It only happens sometimes and I should, but have not, checked to see if I can modify this. I assume you can switch it off, but I don't want to do that, as it could be a valuable aid in different circumstances.

Love my Ibiza. I have the slightly higher horsepower 1litre TSI engine. I find I stall it a lot at roundabouts if I’m slowing down but not stopping as dropping into 1st gear makes the car jolt, staying in 2nd it stalls.

Love the car, handles well and very nippy. Great in-car features with Apple Car Play, air con, satnav, Bluetooth, it has everything you could want. Very good value for money.

Everything is very good for the price. The only couple of thing I would improve is the head room for drivers with short legs and medium torso. When the seat is moved sufficiently forward, you head will be nearly touching the roof (as it slops down the further forward you go) even at the lowest seat height adjustment. This car would also benefit from a jacket hook at the back somewhere. Acceleration is amazing, this 1 Liter model accelerates like a 1400 at least. Fuel economy is not the best because the car is heavier, but this weight, along with the other safety measures, makes it one of the safest cars of its class on the road. (and , for those who did not know, yes weight is a significant safety component - cars safety scores are according to their size class: if all other things are equal, a big car with a safety score of say 3/5 will totally wipe out a mini with a safety score of 5. If you want to be safe, you have to get something a bit chunkier - this car, while still relative small, is chunky and solid. Power steering is excellent (unlike the VW Up, which is skittish). The steering lock is a bit limited - drivers of other cars will need to get used to the fact you cannot turn quite so sharply or in quite such a tight circle in this one - but you do get used to it. Overall excellent for the price - though I do have a bargain price of well under £200 per month including VAT. I notice they are a lot more expensive now, and because of the increase in price, I am not 100% certain I will go for the same next time.

This car is really enjoyable to drive as it handles well and feels very spacious for its size. The boot space is particularly good for this size of car.

Very comfortable, economical and enough room for a family of four. Only problem has been the issue with the rear seatbelt safety problem with the middle belt which we have only been able to use recently as the update has only now come available, rather a long time to wait and has caused inconvenience at times, don’t know what we would have done if we’d had 3 children instead of two. Just felt that there wasn’t any urgency in finding a solution as it took so long. Problem has only recently been resolved.

Middle seat buckle manufacturing issue still ongoing (waiting garage contacting us to replace it) which means we only have 4 usable seats.
