26.63 -> standard plus a redesigned cabin new
28.699 -> 3-cylinder engines and the addition of a
30.65 -> brand new color touchscreen infotainment
32 -> system as before you can have the Ibiza
34.58 -> as a three-door sports coupe a five-door
36.68 -> hatchback or as an estate but we've got
38.78 -> our hands on the five-door hutch to see
40.19 -> how it stacks up against its predecessor
42.61 -> the interior is still very Volkswagen
45.77 -> Group and then it does the job perfectly
47.239 -> but it's still just a little bit
49.16 -> uninspiring to look at it's a big
51.23 -> improvement over the pre-facelift
52.37 -> version but the plastics are still a
54.11 -> little bit drab and the seats while
55.52 -> comfortable unsupportive aren't anything
57.53 -> to write home about either if you're not
59.87 -> too bothered about luxury though then
61.309 -> it's absolutely fine at the end of the
63.26 -> day this is meant to be an inexpensive
64.46 -> vehicle it's the sort of car that your
66.289 -> kids can vomit all over and you'll not
67.759 -> really be that bothered the center
69.8 -> console sports this Tinley little 5 inch
71.84 -> touchscreen infotainment system which
73.64 -> despite its small size is actually very
75.71 -> good it's quick it's easy to pair your
78.049 -> phone with and unlike so many others
80 -> it's not so complex and convoluted that
82.07 -> you need a degree just to operate it
83.659 -> it's also got this really neat feature
85.43 -> where you can aim where the sign focuses
87.259 -> so if you're not a fan of your teenage
88.909 -> daughters Nicki Minaj CDs well just
91.52 -> point them somewhere else sat-nav would
94.04 -> be a hand the addition but you'll have
95.24 -> to go up a trim to get that nevertheless
97.22 -> this mid-range Vesta model still comes
99.439 -> well equipped with da B digital radio
101.45 -> bluetooth and say its convenience pack
103.7 -> which for 230 pounds adds Auto lights
106.04 -> and auto wipers plus more
111.53 -> flame in the rear and the seats are well
114.26 -> they're okay
115.159 -> cozy is probably the worst although any
117.02 -> passenger is bigger than me might find
118.729 -> them far too much on the snug side
120.28 -> likewise taller people might find
122.42 -> themselves struggling for head and
123.77 -> legroom although it's okay for short
125.299 -> journeys or for children boot space
128.869 -> clocks in at 292 litres while there's
131.39 -> also an optional space saver tire under
133.55 -> the floor for an extra 100 pounds for
135.65 -> the rear 16 maximum space clocks in at
138.7 -> 847 litres which is enough for a decent
141.11 -> week shopping but still about a hundred
142.73 -> less than rivals like the Ford Fiesta
144.11 -> and Mazda two
154.15 -> so what's the I beat alike in terms of
156.59 -> performance well it's okay
158.299 -> it doesn't have a patch on the Fiesta in
160.159 -> terms of sheer dynamics it's just a
161.989 -> little bit too soft a little bit too
163.43 -> light little bit too squidgy but it is
165.59 -> extremely comfortable suspensions nice
167.959 -> and supple or irons out the road surface
169.67 -> pretty well where the steering's light
171.23 -> easy to use unreasonably direct this car
173.989 -> comes with the new entry-level one liter
175.73 -> 3-cylinder petrol engine with 75
177.95 -> horsepower there's also more powerful
179.9 -> one liter 1.2 liter and 1.4 liter petrol
183.109 -> engines along with a single 1.4 liter
185.54 -> diesel obviously it's not the fastest
187.79 -> thing in the world
188.42 -> not the 62 miles per hour takes about
190.189 -> just under 15 seconds but it is pleasant
192.98 -> enough and has returned around 48 miles
195.139 -> per gallon for us one word of warning
197.299 -> though at motorway speeds the lack of a
199.069 -> sixth gear means that it will sit pretty
200.84 -> high up in the rev range as a result if
203.09 -> you do long-distance trips often you'll
204.769 -> probably be better off with one of the
206.45 -> other engine options if on the other
208.459 -> hand you're looking for something a bit
209.629 -> harder there is also a cooper version
211.489 -> available with more power and with a
213.29 -> sporty or suspension setup however if
215.599 -> you're looking for something that will
216.65 -> just get you from A to B with minimal
218.12 -> fuss then the standard IB that does a
220.01 -> pretty fine job indeed it also happens
227.87 -> to be very cost effective prices for the
230.359 -> say our ABS start from only 10 grand
232.28 -> while as tested this model costs 14 305
235.459 -> including all the extra options making
237.859 -> it attractively price against its rivals
240.01 -> easily its most desirable trait is its
242.78 -> low cost but just because it's
244.34 -> inexpensive it doesn't mean that the say
246.079 -> IB fit is cheap no it won't set your
248.93 -> world on fire but it is good looking
250.609 -> good to drive and easy to live with but
253.37 -> could you see yourself behind the wheel
