Would You Chose A Seat Over a Polo or Golf?

By: Tony Hill

The Seat Ibiza is a sort of cross between the VW Polo and the VW Golf. As Seat are owned by Volkswagen many of the recent Seat Ibizas have been built on the same platform as the Polo and therefore they share many of the same characteristics.

However, more recent Ibizas have adopted some of the Golf's sporty styling and good engine performance as well which meant the Ibiza became a cross between the two. The Polo has become slightly more conservative and family-friendly so it doesn't act as a direct competitor to the Ibiza - which makes sense seeing as Volkswagen own both cars.

So, would you choose to buy a Seat Ibiza over the much-loved Golf or Polo?

The VW Golf has such a strong brand image and is strongly linked to good performance, build quality and reliability - and to Golf enthusiasts there will be no comparison. However, Seats are now also seen as being reliable and the Ibiza in particular is really well-styled. A basic Ibiza will cost around 8,995 whereas a basic Golf will set you back around 13,580 - with prices going up to over 21,000 for a top-spec Golf. The question is whether the extra money is worth it? VW Polos are slightly cheaper than the Ibiza at just over 8,000, so for just under 1,000 you can get a better looking and better performing car - without the VW badge.

The new-shape Ibiza is larger than previous models -which means more space - and there are far more different trim levels available, such as the Ibiza Sport which features a leather steering wheel, striking chrome double-fronted fog lights and alloy wheels! There is also a Seat Ibiza SC, standing for Sports Coupe, which is basically a sportier Ibiza with even better styling and performance!

The Ibiza's bodywork is modern and dynamic which means it appeals to a younger audience and is a popular "hot hatch" rivalling the likes of the Ford Fiesta.

So if you are looking for a reliable and well-styled hatchback and can't afford a VW Golf I would definitely go for a Seat Ibiza over the Polo - a better-looking, more stylish car that costs just a fraction more.

The Seat Ibiza sits nicely between the Polo and the Golf - and in a way offers the best of both cars, if you can forfeit the VW badge then the Ibiza is a suitable replacement.
