2004 Seat Ibiza S review from UK and Ireland
"A superb little hatchback"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Remote key fob to open doors failed after 1 month. Replaced immediately by dealer.
General comments?
My previous car, a Nissan Primera had very poor fuel economy so I decided to trade down to a smaller, more fuel efficient car. I decided on the SEAT after reading very positive reviews in What Car? Magazine.
So far I am delighted with it. The clutch and gearbox are a delight and it certainly feels more powerful than the 1.2 engine would suggest, though when using the air conditioning performance suffers a bit.
I comes very well equipped. As well as air conditioning, it has power steering, electric windows and a CD Player.
Build quality seems very good without so much as a squeak or rattle as it travels over Glasgow's generally appalling roads.
