SEAT Ibiza 2017 Review

This is the Car Buyers Guide all-new SEAT Ibiza 2017 review. As we only got to travel 210km in the car, these are our first impressions. The all-new 2017 SEAT Ibiza is built on Volkswagen Group's brand new MQB A0 platform and it'll be coming to Ireland very soon. The SEAT Ibiza is the first car to ever use this. They even got there before the Volkswagen Polo.
Daragh Ó Tuama's test models were both powered by 1.0-litre 3-cylinder 115hp petrol engines. We drove two trim lines, FR and Xcellence. Both cars were mated to 6-speed DSG transmissions. SEAT Ireland tells us that the all-new 2017 SEAT Ibiza will arrive in Ireland towards the end of June 2017. When the car arrives, we will hopefully get a chance to drive all of the other engine variants.
The new SEAT Ibiza (#startmoving) is excellent on twisty roads and it's testament to how good the new MQB A0 platform is. The body is well controlled and feels more rigid than before. The interior looks miles better to.

good review! ^^
What supermini car would you recommend in 2017?

[@DivineTestimonies]

I want your honest opinion carbuyer I've always liked the 208 but since sitting in 16 plate Ibiza 2 days ago I felt happier than I did in the 208. I'm getting back to driving after 12 + years so what would you say is the super mini car to go for, for city driving or short trips outside town? I'm waiting for Seat to release this in automatic :) thanks

I’ve driven the 115bhp ibiza since july in manual and i have to say its an amazing car, ive owned a fiesta, ive owned a 206 and they dont even slightly compare to how fun this car is and practical also, technology is unparalleled

Nice Review!
Did you check the fuel consumption on the motorway?

[@CarBuyersGuideCBG]

Thanks. We wouldn't have done enough miles to give an accurate fuel economy at the launch. We should have a longer test in Ireland soon enough, which means we can give you a better idea of fuel economy after a week or circa 600/700km.

Does 1.0 115 tsi moves tha car easily?Or someone should pick the 1.5 ?

[@CarBuyersGuideCBG]

+K Gian i haven't driven the 1.5. But the 115ps works well. A lot of our test route was on hills and acceleration was good enough. I didn't find much wrong with overtaking either. Of course, the 1.5 would logically be quicker though.
