We’ve brought together three of the best alternative small cars - the Skoda Fabia, Toyota Yaris and SEAT Ibiza! Mat’s going to take you on a guided tour through all three, but which do you think will come out on top? Let us know in the comments below!

If you're sick of VW Polo, maybe you should look at Skoda Fabia (aka Polo) or Seat Ibiza (aka Polo). Thumbs up.
New polo is based of the new Ibiza btw
@@roadbites3838 So you are saying that the new audi a1 is also based on seat?! please no more jokes.
Remi D but it is 😂😂

This is a review no one has even done.
UNTIL NOW!!! 🔥🔥🔥
NOW DRAG RACE THEM
carwow please please please drag race them
This is the review no one wants to watch
@@RokerSMisisipi then why did u watch it
I own a seat ibiza 1.0 tsi 115hp for more than a year and i have to say that it is a great car for it's value. Enough space, enough power, enough handling. It feels like a quite big car on the road. You get a lot without spending a lot!
I've driven a Yaris for a number of years. Overall I've been really happy with it and it's given me no trouble engine-wise. But a couple of the interior plastics did break on me. A plastic cup over the end of the seatbelt snapped off, and the cap on the cigarette lighter snapped off. Mostly a good car though. Always appreciate the reliability and higher mpg too.
The plastic cap for the 12V socket breaking after few miles is a feature of Toyota!!! A common feature of any Yaris :)
My 2006, 2012 and also 2015 Yaris had it break. Just put a nice USB adapter in it and its good looking XDDDDDDDDDD
@@ancientslav4863 A very shrewd idea, sir. Thanks.
Nice Video Mat ! Cheers from Romania 🇷🇴
The mountains over there are quiet stunning. Cheers
Oh hello fellow romanian
@han0509 From what i remember, it was the Bugegi mountains and Piatra Craiului. Very nice the second one.
My experience of the Yaris was awesome. It’s a dream to drive, steering is awesome, interior is sexy, one of the best rear view mirrors and awesome all around. Mainly because it was an automatic and the hybrid version. I think with the newer automatic and the hybrid is where the Yaris shines.
Hello. From 8 months I'm driving Fabia (2017) 1.0 with LPG. 99% trips are in city conditions (uber driver). I have to tell that this car is so good. Engine is good enough for city driving, no need more power. Best is fuel consumption around 6-6.5L LPG, 8-8.5L petrol (per 100km). Cant compare to other two but you did it :)
Anyway, great video mate, good talking, no bulls.t!
Thanks for the photo today! Keep doing the best car reviews in Europe and being the great guy you are! Cheers
I have a 2014 Toyota Yaris with 425,000 kms on it and still going strong, only change the oil once a year.
I have a toyota Yaris 2019 with 50 km and it impressed me! Definetly the best out of the mini-trio.
That's impressive! The mileage too! I have a 2010 Yaris (the 100HP version) and although a little bland, I actually like my little car a lot. The seats fold all the way down so I've managed to transport all sorts of bulky stuff in it, including a 1.60m fridge, with the boot closed. 145.000 kms, and it's starting to consume a bit of oil unfortunately. But it still drives as smooth as the day I bought it.
Billy Jack diesel huh
My sister has a 2005 Yaris and it is still so good, everyone is impressed. The car mechanics that did a check up said she can at least still use it for like 5 years if she takes well care of it
Just out of curiosity, how does one drive an average of 200 km/day for 6 years? 270 if we factor in only weekdays.
Mat, you amazed me again with your Spanish prononciation of "Ibiza". Spot on 👌🏿 👍🏿
Love your videos! Keep up...
So satisfied to watch this since I recently bought an ibiza
It's everything mat described exactly
After 1 year, what do you hate about it?
I bought a 68 plate Ibiza FR Sport 115PS DSG last month, and I love it so far.
Did it last the DSG?
@@danielesalvigni Yeah I still have the car. Works great and so far it has given me 0 issues.
@@Nghtmare30589 do you have to service the dsg because I heard with the 7 speed you don't have to?
@@adamp7298 Ive had the car since Dec 2018, Seat was notifying me that I had to take the car for service at 12 and 24 months so I would say yes.
I would take the Skoda
Nice video!
Edit: thank you fore the likes!!! 😊
Great choice
@A real petrol-head My Fabia has horizonal vents.
@A real petrol-head No, I am not looking at the centre console. I am looking at the extreme ends of my dash board where they are horizontal.
@A real petrol-head They are both horizontal. All you mean to say is that the Octavia vents are longer.
@A real petrol-head Yes I understand what you are pointing out. You just chose the wrong word. Both vents are horizontal, one is longer than the other.
Love the small camparson videos. Fast and easy overview 👍🏽😊
all i wanted was to see the race😭😭😭😭😭
exactly, all i wanted to see
You already had a TH-cam channel that compared all the compact. The Ibiza was the fastest in retakes and in exits.
4:10 your jacket magically appeared and then disappeared. Amazing.
I think fabia looks the best out of the other two. Also better sound quality I think. But the Seat looks nice too and it seems the Interior is definitely an improvement.
...and the yaris will run like new 20 years later, while the other two will be reused for metal and plastic for snow showels before the toyota needs anything
Why is this so entertaining? I come to this channel every day to watch these car videos while im eating because they are so entertaining. Like im 15, I wont buy a car for a while but I still watch because its fun to see how different cars are and this channel is so entertaining.
I think I watch too many carwow videos. Matts reviews are really well made it's enjoyable to watch even though you are not looking for a new car lol
Awesome video
Picking up my new Ibiza fr next weekend as a first car! Thanks for a review
How is it? Thinking of getting one for my first too
I am using a Yaris and trust me it’s awesome.
The boot compartment bicycle test is great idea,just keep doing it!
4:17 that's never going broke.
LPT: When actually transporting a bike inside a car, take off the front wheel even if you don't strictly have to. It's just easier in and out, and easier to stack with other stuff.
I have the 2019 Fabia Combi 1.0 75hp petrol... It can be a bit under-powered sometimes but it makes up with great value, great fuel consumption and great equipment.
I was thinking of going with the Ibiza but it was a bit over my budget and it didn't have that big boot that the Škoda has (530 liters)...
What I would say are the drawbacks of Škoda are not a lot of room at the backseat and a 75hp engine is not for those who like to have a "sporty drive and response" and overtaking someone on the highway is reaaaaally slow... and it can be noisy in high revs.
It's a daily driver for a small family (or a new family), great fuel economy and equipment and a great boot -> that is what I was going for.
Great Video!
I've got the same engine but not on the combi version. I think it is quite good. I do not like to drive fast (over the speed limit) and if you stick to it I find it powerful enough. When I have to overtake in secondary roads I just lower a gear for more power.
At least here in Spain you can get a fully equipped Fabia for the same price as a bare bones Ibiza or polo.
I have not regrets, great car for the price.
Impressed with the change of clothing for the Ibiza leg/headroom shots. Seamless ;-)
Facial expression scoring is much clearer than any other scoring system I've seen :) Nice review!
Good video!
I've been waiting for a Honda Jazz review for years! Grrr.
I kind of expected the Ibiza to win this one, given that it's generally considered the best in class, or close to it, and certainly helped by being the newest by far. It's a big car though, for a supermini - about 75mm longer than the Fabia, tipping it well past that magic 4 metre mark. About the same length as a Golf Mk. 3, in fact.
I crashed my mercedes and needed a car to be able to drive to work.
A friend of mine gave me what he described 'ugliest car' Toyota Yaris
Till this day I still drive the Yaris.
It's been 8 years and haven't had a single break down or any issues
It's a decent car Toyota
It's a good reliable car, not ugly at all.
ibiza is cool, i got one for two years, never interested until i bought it, it exceeded my expectations really, its vw owned and looks better then both polo and fabia, exterior wise, i plan to go leon this year if not golf
So u always gonna go to vw engines ?
@@amrdel2730 that was 2 years ago😂now i drive mini cooper and loving it
the raised boot shelf on the yaris is available and great for increasing floorspace efectively doubling it albeit the lower space is only about 9 inches high , but good
Thank you very much for the fun channel video😍😘👌🏼👍❤🇩🇿
I have a 2012 Yaris and I only changed the battery still going lovely car
Unpopular opinion here but i think the Toyota looks the most modern from the outside with the LED headlights and taillights. The Seat Ibiza exterior looks like something from 2010 with halogen lights and DRL.
All VAG cars have shitty halogen headlights and tail lights in their lower and mid trim level cars. Only the top trim level VAG cars have LED head/tail lights.
My favorite TH-cam channel! By the way, what happened to the resolution? Only 360p here
Really love the reviews! I would like to see a review of the 2019 Porsche Panamera.
The Fabia has got decent knee room in the back. It's just that the Monte Carlo models have bulky Sport seats. If you just get a different trim, the legroom will be fine.
True, I've just got the 2019 version and leg room is fine. But I am a quite tall (1'90m) and the space behind the driver seat is quite narrow for a similar size passenger. But it is just right for someone smaller.
Can you make a video about the Mazda 2 SkyActiv G? Thank you!
Great review! Please do a polo vs ibiza comparison!
The Yaris’ boot is perfect for golf clubs. Take the longest clubs out, put the bag in, then the clubs you’ve taken out the bag fit perfectly in the indentations towards the front of the boot.
Nobody has mentioned the word ' Depreciation ' . You will find the Yaris will hold it's value the best .
I'd take the Yaris. I can forgive it for the interior because it is so much fun to drive! And its the most realiable!
fun compared to what? Going on a bus? Getting stabbed?
fun compared to wasting time and money fixing electronics/windows/locks/chipset that the other ones are notorious for
Very recently rented Yaris and Fabia. On studded tires Yaris was noisy as hell and with non aspirated engine quite laborous to drive. Then I switched to Fabia. I was happy old geezer again! It ran effortlessly (1.0 turbo) and was quieter noticeably and the ride was smoother.
Got a 2004 yaris 1.4d4d remaped got it for 6 years now. Awesome little car.
Hi Matt, I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work!!
Matt may reply to this.
of these three cars, the Yaris is the comfiest for those who are disabled i think it might be because of the suspension but trust me the front seats on the higher spec models are the best especially on those horrid bumpy roads of the UK.
I’m waiting for the Skoda Scala this year as my next lease! PLEASE do a review of it ASAP Matt 🤑
Best reviewer on yt, it's just sad that you don't like Toyota yaris, a car that I am driving. Very reliable car and not so boring as you said. All the best from Serbia 🇷🇸
The Yaris will still run like new without repairs when Seat and Skoda engines and gearboxes died.
Yaris is made out of mazda engine
that is what i thought when i bought my yaris. after 70k km a failure... a huge dissapointment
@@filipjankoski421 no it's not
Well my Fabia is nearing 300K km without major repairs.
Also looking at the roads here I see loads of older Fabias and Ibizas (most are automatics in my country), but with time much less Japanese small cars.
@@filipjankoski421 The Yaris in North America is a rebadged Mazda, but the Yaris everywhere else is Toyota's own design.
I’m currently looking at the Ibiza for my first car when I (eventually) pass my driving test.
You'd probably want to buy a used car because you are a beginner.
It's a great little car!
I have a seat ibiza fr as my first car. Love it to bits
I have a 2012 Ibiza 1.2tsi and had it since I passed 3 and half years ago. Perfect first car. Enough power to keep up on the motorways and to dart around town, dirt cheap insurance.
@@SkhTrains what did you pay for your first insurance? I have a 1.2tsi fr and ended up paying 2600 for my first year :(
Omg rolling down windows still exist! Love it
in my personal opinion the best seat ibiza was the mk5, absolutely love that car the interior is brilliant, and you even get a spare Tyre in the boot.
The Yaris console shaking is a feature that helps, it will not break.
Haha yeah right just like in my 1985 Lada lol
The Yaris console is great, as it means adjusting the handbrake is so easy. (1 bolt and a few clips) Love it. 👍
finally! now do grab race with these kinda cars.. with more real world cars please! :)
Can't wait for my 2020 Ibiza !!!
Great rreview as it talks about something I always want to know but no one else has mentioned...does it carry a bike in the back..!
The skoda wins because of that flat bottom steering wheel!
You can get a flat bottom steering wheel on the Ibiza too, carwow just never get a good spec of the ibiza every time they review it.
FR modeld get it anyway, and have since the last gen started
Tiff Needell would strongly disagree with you lol
I had a great 2010 ibiza for the last 6 months as my first car until sadly i was rear ended on saturday and it will most likely be written off, sad times
Why some people like flat bottom steering wheels in road cars?
4:07 Matt magically changes his clothes to demonstrate rear space
Love the way how Matt review the cars regardless of pricetag equally 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this review. Huge fan from the US. 2 of these vehicles aren’t even sold here...
I would take the Seat for the looks, the engine options and the nice interior.
Νίκος Γρηγορίου the Skoda looks better but the seat is the better car
@@vantablack5690 Lol, the Skoda looks better.... that's a good one.
i would take the 1.8 litlre supercharged engine of yaris
@@pharaongaming8617 Hmmmm 26grand for a Yaris when you could get better built, better equipped more powerful cars for the same price.
@@L8ugh1ngm8n1 it's more unique it has more character it's sort of cute and has a supercharger and if you watch video of Carwow drag racing it only mini Cooper s John Cooper works was faster also grmn is rare and is likely to become future classic thus appreciate in value
Skoda Fabia is the winner for me 🙂
Parth Desai that’s what I would go for too 🥰
Cheap VW Polo vs. cheap VW Polo vs. Toyota
Toyota hast won of course.
@A real bisexual petrol-head wow that's a bit harsh, maybe?
It's a good but small car. Buy Skoda Rapid instead. You will thank me later.
@montalitè DZ the seat copied the škoda
Do a Polo vs Ibiza comparison as I think a lot of people are undecided which one to go for including myself.
I'm leasing the Yaris (same model as tested) for just (equivalent to) 200£ a month. In Denmark you can't beat that value for the same price!
8:47 what if Ur a kid who enjoyed his dad driving a 2009 vauxhall in 2019 and was changing to a 2016 high tech hatchback like the seat ibiza
The interior of the £11k Dacia Sandero definitely looks better than the Yaris. Yikes. I'd like to see a review where the top spec Sandero is pitted against some of these cars and given a proper chance. There's no arguing with the value for money, even at the top end.
Do the 2019 Tuscon. Am really curious about your opinion.
Any chance of an estate head to head between the Volvo V60 Audi A4 avant and the Mercedes C class Estate/ BMW 3 Series Touring? Great video as always I'd take the Skoda.
Yaris also has reverse cameras since its 2012 model they was so ahead of the rest
As a Fabia driver, I can approve that the Skoda is pretty boring to drive but that makes it very predictable. Which is good, especially for new drivers. Plus, the new Fabia is very safe.
Mine however is a reimported one without ESP which is quite fun especially in the snow
well, fusebox for the win! :D
The Ibiza is great drove one as a rental I'm about 1.9meter tall and felt far more comfortable than I'd expected.
Even in 360p this is Quality content
The Seat have the best exterior and the most sportiest design (just look at those fantastic external rear view mirrors),Skoda is also very good looking car with great interior and the last is Toyota(modern interior but exterior design is questionable)...I vote for Seat for sure
I would definitely go with the Ibiza, but only if the polo wasn't an option
The exterior of the Ibiza is way better than the Polo. And now the Ibiza has also the Virtual Cockpit.
@@Ryo-xx1lm the exterior of the polo is way more classy that the Ibiza, looks much more premium.
Virtual cockpit is also an option on the polo?
@@mathiasiversen9997 Yes. It definitely is! I'd go for the Polo just for the overall build quality and materials - that is if you can spare some extra cash.
@@mathiasiversen9997 LOL. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
@Teamgeist It is a car, not a muse my friend!
The thumbnail really grinds my gears
Like why can't the names be where the cars are
Can you please do a review of the 2019 Hyundai tuscon 1.6t htrac
I'd go with the Yaris because of the spare wheel and because I don't have OCD on parcel shelves and stuff. It just works, no need to reinvent the wheel (or the parcel shelf)!
Anyone notice the camera shakes the most in the “better” car. 🤦🏻♂️
Are you going to review the new Toyota Rav4 anytime soon? I'm interested in buying the hybrid, but I'd like to get my favourite reviewers opinion on it!
Are the 3 cylinders mpi good for the fabia or is the 1.2 90hp noticeably better?
one is good for the owner and 2 of them are good for the garage.
I just got a 1.5litre Clio and it is amazing
I’ll pick the Seat too. It’s new, sporty and it’s a great car. The boot for the Skoda is a bit restricted width wise, so it’s a minus. The Toyota has small boot, cheap interior.
Glad I ordered the Ibiza :D
you should also put "litre/per 100 km" on consumption info! please!!!
Yaris 5.3/100l (1.5L Hybrid)
Skoda is 4.8 / 100
so what if you compare ibiza with new polo and new fiesta?
The only question in such a comparison would be .
Isn't the crease in the dashboard for heating the front windscreen? My last Ibiza had one and my current Leon has one as well although both of them do seem to be further back than the one shown in the new Ibiza.
Hey Mat, that’s a nice coat you’ve got there at 4:10
I really love Seat cars, they feel more alive and fun and they look good aswell, i still have the old Ibiza and i love it !
Nice choice!
The difference is Toyota petrol engines last 300k miles whereas these VAG TSI engines have premature timing chain, oil pump and turbo failure.
I've seen many Toyota Yaris' reach 600k on their original power-train...
@@mrgreg6177 yes, I've seen the mk1 Yaris do over 400k miles on the original engine and box. My old one did 200k on the original timing chain before being written off.
Yeah, but I just can't imagine myself keepig a car for that long. Especially a car that I don't really like.
Too bad the trade-off is driving something brutally ugly.
@@CyAn-S yeah and that's fine, Toyota isn't for people like you lol
Dad has a Yaris and can fit his golf clubs in with ease - remove the taller clubs, put the bag in, then slot the clubs into the indents in the panels either side - the heads at the right, the grips at the left. He had to put the longer clubs behind the front seats in his 2015 Corsa and 2011 Picanto....
Hey Mat mind telling me why wasn't the Suzuki swift here?
8:46,9:32,10:40 just made this video even better 🤣
Another video where the car that wins is more expensive than the other 2. Surely there was another car in the same price bracket as general rule is that the more you pay for a car the better it will be as they use better components.
is the Yaris still good with manual transmission and diesel ?
