Used Fiesta or SEAT Ibiza?
Looking at purchasing a 2015 or 2016 5 door hatchback 1.2+ engine. I do approx 60km every day 5 days a week, followed by light weekend driving. I have been shopping around and have my eye on a 161 SEAT Ibiza 1.2 petrol and a 1.25 151 Ford Fiesta Titanium. Which would be a better buy? Both are at the approx same price of €12000.
Our answer:
Hi Roisin,
It's actually quite hard to separate the two. The SEAT will probably be a little more reliable in the longer term, but the Fiesta is much nicer to drive, and more refined overall. That could be a deciding factor as you’re covering pretty decent mileage every week. I think I’d, just, come down on the side of the Fiesta, but a lot would hinge on the two cars’ service histories and condition.
