Thanks sir for a wonderful review of the Seat Ibiza Toca. I forgot to mention my wife calls it Itsy. She loves it to bits and I must admit its a great little fun car on a twisty back road. Cambelts you do have to watch for on this engine due to plastic tensioners. So I'm going every 5 years or 40000 miles to be safe. But otherwise its quite a good engine for performance and economy. Another stellar review sir.

We aim to please, sir! An interesting name for your lady wife's car... It does drive nicely enough, I just happened to prefer the Meriva on the day. Yes, always good to change the cambelt before time, as Mr Coleman will tell you.

I think that the interior is lovely and the seats look comfortable. The door mirrors are very edgy. I believe that every incarnation of the Seat Ibiza had really great styling. The Mk1 looked like nothing else and the stylish Mk2 had a very flowing practical shape, again, like nothing else especially in its rear styling. The Cordoba was compact and gorgeous. This 2013 model test has opened my eyes to the Ibiza because there seem to be some very very fruity engine options available with loads of bhp. Sounded like you liked the gearchange quality particularly, Sir.

It's a lot less drab than the Skoda Fabia of the era, that is for sure... Not a fan of the lack of rear space, however. The gearchange was OK, typical Volkswagen in that it was a bit clunky. The styling was very good, one of the car's biggest successes. There were lots and lots of rather powerful engines available for some reason!

I really enjoyed this review. I had a couple of Mk5 Leon's which were brilliant, however upon asking for deals on an Ibiza when it was time to change, the PCP deals were considerably more expensive than a VW Polo which is essentially the same car, hence changing to the cheaper VW!

The reason why we see so many Mercedes A-Classes in the Top Ten Best-Selling Cars at the moment, for example, is just because of the residuals. They retain their value on finance agreements rather well, despite being one of the class best-sellers, which is interesting, and lease companies love them. The Polo is much the same, one of the country's best-sellers, and yet surprisingly high residuals, as you say. I have a video of a 2016 Leon on the channel, if you are interested, the link is in the description below. It's one of the cars with the fewest flaws I have ever tested.

Excellent review Sir, I do like this generation of Ibiza, a much better quality interior compared to the Mark 2 Fabia of the same era which we once owned. Got to admit that's the first time I have seen remote stereo controls like that in a VAG Group Car.

Yes, I don't know if this is necessarily a better quality interior than a Mark II Fabia (I recently sourced one of those for a client), but it is definitely a lot less drab. Many of the components are identical. The remote control on the steering column is weird.... Maybe if this had had one of the more powerful engines, I would have liked it more, but I ended up preferring the Meriva.

I remember our local Seat dealer selling these in 2015 /16 3dr 1.4 for £8k new ! I was put off by the white seat covers they had . Wish I had popped down now and snapped one up . Instead I got a Polo 2007 1.4 for £2800 !

These cars are quite good value in comparison with the Fabias and Polos, it would seem. Seat used to have massive savings on new cars back in the day, didn't they?

I had a 2015 Ibiza Cupra 1.4 DSG and it was a quick fun car but it drank oil and wore out front tyres fast. I was told the 1.4 engine was a problem so I got rid of it quickly which was a shame as it looked nice.

Yes, if it was before the facelift that came later in the year, it would have been fitted with the old Twincharger 1.4 engine, and those are notoriously problematic. Same engine in the Mark II Skoda Fabia vRS, from what I understand.

I thought that the Toca made some reference to the Touring Cars that SEAT had quite the presence in with the Toledo, Leon's and alike in BTCC and WTCC forms?

Probably, but it did also come with the touchscreen sat nav, so probably some kind of dual reference.

I owned a 2nd (?) generation Ibiza between 2002-2010. The first one based on the Polo platform with the 1.4 MPI 8v engine. I was in the right demographic for SEAT ownership, being 24 years old at the time. Suited me perfectly. Would I buy another SEAT Ibiza? Maybe not. I just don't like the interior plastics/design of the modern VAG cars. Furthermore, I'm now won over by Korean and Japanese cars now.

Yes, the second generation Ibiza was made from 1993 to 2002. It was essentially a slightly different Volkswagen Polo Mark III, and actually pre-dated it by a year. There were lots of engine options, most of which were shared with the Polo, including the 1.4 you mention that was also in my first car. Seats have traditionally appealed to younger buyers than Skodas or Volkswagens, you are absolutely right.

I don't know why it annoyed me so much in the moment, but it did for some reason. It's a perfectly decent car, but I surprised myself that I much preferred the Meriva.

I am currently running a Mazda 3, 08 plate, had it a few years, looking for something a bit smaller length wise due to parking space limitations. Any recommendations for a budget up to £6k mark?

Thank you for watching! There are a lot of options which may fit the bill within your budget. A lot of it does depend on what is actually out there when buying secondhand, however. I don't really give away any more specifics than that on an individual basis unless I am actually doing a job for a client, so feel free to get in touch with me at the e-mail address shown about a minute into the video if I can be of further help to you.
