If there’s one thing we can be certain about, it’s that small cars don’t have to be boring. Enter the 2024 SEAT Ibiza 1.0 TSI 115 FR 5dr – a pint-sized powerhouse that proves you don’t need to go big to have a blast behind the wheel. With sharp styling, lively performance, and a ton of tech, this Ibiza isn’t just another hatchback; it’s a little car with a big personality. Under the bonnet, you’ve got a 1.0-litre TSI engine, turbocharged and ready to go. With 115 horsepower at your disposal, the Ibiza doesn’t hang around. It’s nippy, responsive, and perfect for darting around city streets, country roads, or even a cheeky motorway sprint. It’s quick enough to give you the thrill of acceleration without ever feeling too frantic – that balance of performance and everyday usability. And with mild-hybrid tech on board, you get better efficiency, more torque when you need it, and a cleaner, greener drive. Expect fuel economy that’ll have you grinning, with figures pushing into the 50-55 mpg range – making it not just fun, but frugal, too. Now, let’s talk about the FR trim. This is where the Ibiza really starts to feel like something special. SEAT has dialed up the sporty vibes with a lowered suspension, sportier front bumper, and bold alloy wheels. It’s got a stance that says, "I’m ready for action" but doesn’t overdo it. Inside, the sportiness continues with cloth-and-leather seats, stylish contrast stitching, and a digital cockpit that puts the driver front and centre. The tech features are just as modern, with an 8-inch touchscreen that integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, letting you stay connected while you enjoy the road ahead. The Ibiza is quick to put you at ease, and with adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and front assist, it’s packed with enough driver assistance to keep you safe and stress-free. The handling? Well, this is where the Ibiza truly shines. The FR suspension gives it a firm, responsive feel, and the steering is sharp, making it feel agile and connected to the road. It doesn’t lean into corners, doesn’t hesitate on straights, and it certainly doesn’t give you that 'floating' feeling of some other compact hatchbacks. No, this car makes you feel like you’re driving something much more engaging. Whether you’re weaving through traffic or taking a twisty B-road for a bit of fun, the Ibiza feels planted, nimble, and, yes, pretty sporty. It’s just the right balance of comfort and excitement, which is a sweet spot for everyday driving. Inside the cabin, you’ll find it’s surprisingly spacious for a compact hatchback. The front seats are supportive and adjustable, offering decent legroom for taller drivers, while the rear seats are perfectly comfortable for adults on short trips or kids on longer ones. The boot space is a practical size for a car this class, and it’s easy to load up your shopping, weekend bags, or whatever you need. With the rear seats folded, the Ibiza can take on bigger loads too, so it’s no slouch when
