Seat Ibiza reviews
Pros: Clear view of the surroundings through the large windows. Compact size, no parking problems. Responsive handling. No unnecessary features, everything you need and not the smallest boot to put three shopping bags in.
Cons: Gearbox difficult to understand, can accidentally hurt gears. The hatch in the ceiling, of course, starts to leak with time, if it does, if it doesn't - congratulations. It's not very comfortable to sit in the back, but that's OK.
