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!
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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
@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.
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 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.
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.
@@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.

Gf has a 2018 ibiza. If you can get along with DSG, it's a great car. Nippy, functional, quite spacious in the back, has all the bells and whistles, looks ok. I despise DSG with a passion though. It has a mind of its own and it pulls some weird shit sometimes. I really, really hate that. If you're looking into buying a car with DSG, consider renting it for a week or two. Seriously, it's that bad (for me) and you really gotta be sure if you want that. I drove a passat, golf, ibiza (duh) and it's not just the ibiza. The shifts are smooth no complaints there but same amount of gas/brake yield different results each time with the cars! Sometimes it pounces forward, sometimes it doesnt. Same applies for reverse. Sometimes you brake just a little and the car brakes itself twice as hard, stopping you abrubtly. Oh and the lane keep assist will try to kill you.
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.
Yaris Hybrid. Comparing a small car on three adults in the back or three massive suitcases is a bit daft. It will usually get used for one or two adults in the front and one or two kids in the back. For that it's got plenty of space, the Hybrid has plenty of low down guts thanks to the electric motor, good mpg, it's not going to break anytime soon and it's got no silly distractions inside - it's just a car that works as a car. Have a look at used prices and you soon see which are the throw away after a few years cars and which is the one people will still pay for. On that point if you take in depreciation and all running costs the Yaris is way cheaper to own aswell. If you need to carry three adults or a rugby team's worth of luggage you should buy a car that's suited to it.
Some people are on a budget and they don't want to overspend or they can't afford to buy a car that is suited for 3 adults or a rugby team, so VAG is spot on with the Ibiza as they can suit everyone from singles to families. The Yaris and the rest of the supermini class, except the Baleno as far as i know, are for singles or couples with no children or second family cars. I have the Ibiza with the 115bhp engine for 16 months now and i am totally satisifed with it, it is comfortable with the 185/65/15 tyres, i like the looks, the engine is punchy, fuel economy is more than descent, easy to drive for my wife's daily commute, we go on trips with our son,our dog and all our luggage, we pay low tax/year, it does everything very good, considering the price and my expectations, i knew what i was buying. If it turns out to be reliable, no problems so far,it will prove to be an excellent choice.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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 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.
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
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
guys, buy Yaris - the most reliable car which also keeps its value most and it is more economical to run and maintain. btw I own 14 years old Yaris and for all these years and over 150000km the only thing that has been repaired/changes was one airbag sensor ( cost: eur 40)
you’d be stupid to take the fabia over the ibiza. the ibiza is a whole generation newer (MQB) while the fabia is still based on the last gen polo. the ibiza is basically a new polo except cheaper, more fun, and better looking.
Well, it is not as easy as that. The Fabia is available as Combi also, the Ibiza is not. This can make the difference if you are looking for the biggest trunk for the lowest price.
@A real petrol-head : Seat Ibizia was definitely offered as an estate, but only in the previous generation. Seat cancelled the Combi in the newest generation tested here.
@@bremCZ They are the exact same car underneath their skin, sure the Polo is better, you get some soft touch materials, the design, perhaps different suspension setup, a VW badge etc but you pay a price for it.
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.
If you get panic attacks of the thought your car may brake down then by the Yaris. Its not that it will not give problems but at least you have the perception of reliabilty. For all others, just buy the car that fits your needs.
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.
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.
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)!
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....
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 🇷🇸
Its amazing how my Toyota Yaris II (2007) was such a fun and cinvenient little car. Center console design out of space age, rear seat folding flat, nifty storage spaces everywhere, like that car had 8 cupholders etc. It was a brave design by all means, wrecked by a shitty multimode transmission. Shame. No more brave stuff from Toyota.
But only the high trim levels look quite good or "hot" as you would call it...My university got some Ibizas in the very basic trim and they just look boring, dull and ugly.
@@aircraftspottingDe1 tbf to seat, all cars looks bland in their lower trim levels. Even when you go up a segment, to at any level. I love the massa 6, but in entry spec it's horrid. And BMW give you nothing. Jeremy Clarkson once said, BMW would charge you for the air in the cabin if they could. The lowest trim are usally only purchased by hire firms and as company cars like you discribe. In the early 2000s I works for a combat that supplied us with astra, corrola, focus, segnemt cars. They was usally always entry trims. But hay free car, and petrol card. Also the reason I got the FR trim on my leon.
@@StephenButlerOne Yeah that sadly apply to many cars, that the lowest trim level look very bland, but the VW group is the "king" of bad looking entry level models...Some of them doesn't even have a radio and basically no features. So you have to pay extra for nearly everything :D
@@aircraftspottingDe1 which model doesn't have a radio? I've not heard of that. Most vw cars (like most) come with a touch screen and android auto/apple car play. Vx and Ford have probably the worst stsndarf interiors given they ars a major brand. The focus/astra ares naff no matter tdh trim leven inside. As is the corsa and fiesta. Then 4 are basically main stays of in the top 6 top selling cars evey month since jesus bought his first sandals. This is why they just don't update and short change loyal customers.
Yaris. Toyota is the best I am an x VW car enthusiast that never driven Japanese cars before, I bought a Hybrid Yaris since 2014. The quality in German cars has dropped so much...
@A real petrol-head Korean cars aren't bad! Kia for example made a huge improvement over the 20 years! Same as Hyundai and Mazda! I agree with you about Chinese cars, they suck lol, especially Xiangling, Geely and BYD!
Ukog Nos not wanna lie, cause I’m not 100 % sure, but Kia improved in the last years so much with their design because they’ve got a German as their lead designer. He was working for VAG before I believe. So thats the major reason why Kia doesn’t look so creepy like other Asian cars
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.
Honda Jazz Dynamic. Good fuel econ, fun to thrash, magic seats, Honda Sensing, CarPlay, 1.5 NA engine, awesome 6spd manual, fold seats and it’s CAVERNOUS for its class. Oh, and 800 cup holders. Silly omission Carwow.
It's part of my job to drive many cars every day. Yaris is just a reliable car and there's nothing else to enjoy at it. I would never buy it! BUT, many people disagree with me... I'm from Greece and this car is a best seller for many years cause most of the people they see it as a bargain. They don't really care if it has cheap plastics or there's no any driving experience. Is a recipe for the most people for whom driving is nothing more than to just do their job. If you like cars in a "deeper" perspective yes, you don't buy such a car
@Juib Morrowind I am not bothered wait things like cruise control to be honest. I want a car that reliable. I already have a 2002 Mini but still needs work done hence why I bought tbe Yaris as my daily driver until Mini is sorted
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
I bought a 2019 model Ibiza 115 FR with sunroof for just over £15 k. It's not bad but be aware that the steering is completely numb, the infotainment is glitchy and not ergonomic and the interior feels cheap. The tailgate needs a hefty slam to shut properly and the LED headlamps seem to wind up some other drivers.
I bought the Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI DSG7 2020 back in 2019 and it has electric windows in the back and a raisable boot floor with a spare tire for the sub woofer.
I bought a supermini recently. Looked at pretty much all of them. Because I'm both tall and wide the interior space was most important aspect for me. The Fabia and the Yaris were extremely cramped. The Ibiza was OK, but at the end I didn't buy it, because it was too expensive for the class. I don't consider either of these a top choice.
Skorrigan, so true, i had a 2006 toyota yaris sedan, it was an unbreakable car, but, whenever i had the audacity to accelerate more than 100 km i felt like asking for death haha

@@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!
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 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.
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
@@singleplayer_gamer2 years on, what are you driving now? 🤣
1 Toyota (reliability)
2 Seat (Because of bigger engines)
3 Skoda (Just a car with 3 Cylinder engines available only)
I have a 2012 Yaris and I only changed the battery still going lovely car
Yaris is a very good car and also a hybrid. It’s comfortable and the dash is much better than you say
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
guys, buy Yaris - the most reliable car which also keeps its value most and it is more economical to run and maintain. btw I own 14 years old Yaris and for all these years and over 150000km the only thing that has been repaired/changes was one airbag sensor ( cost: eur 40)
you’d be stupid to take the fabia over the ibiza. the ibiza is a whole generation newer (MQB) while the fabia is still based on the last gen polo. the ibiza is basically a new polo except cheaper, more fun, and better looking.
Well, it is not as easy as that. The Fabia is available as Combi also, the Ibiza is not. This can make the difference if you are looking for the biggest trunk for the lowest price.
But the last gen Polo still blows the Ibiza away...
@A real petrol-head : Seat Ibizia was definitely offered as an estate, but only in the previous generation. Seat cancelled the Combi in the newest generation tested here.
@@bremCZ They are the exact same car underneath their skin, sure the Polo is better, you get some soft touch materials, the design, perhaps different suspension setup, a VW badge etc but you pay a price for it.
@@kostasmats7922 When you drive both you realise they are far from the same car.
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.
The reliability of the engine is high in all three because Skoda and seat both have VW engines. And the toyotas, well a Toyota
If you get panic attacks of the thought your car may brake down then by the Yaris. Its not that it will not give problems but at least you have the perception of reliabilty. For all others, just buy the car that fits your needs.
Mat, you amazed me again with your Spanish prononciation of "Ibiza". Spot on 👌🏿 👍🏿
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!
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.
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.
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.
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)!
"People hate it when I throw car parts about.."
*Throws car part*
"But this car deserves it"
MADLAD. Rekt.
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....
Yaris also has reverse cameras since its 2012 model they was so ahead of the rest
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 🇷🇸
Ibiza is the best!! 🔥
You mean the vw polo because it's basically a vw
@@carholic-sz3qv actually is not the same but whatever...
Its amazing how my Toyota Yaris II (2007) was such a fun and cinvenient little car. Center console design out of space age, rear seat folding flat, nifty storage spaces everywhere, like that car had 8 cupholders etc. It was a brave design by all means, wrecked by a shitty multimode transmission. Shame. No more brave stuff from Toyota.
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!
one is good for the owner and 2 of them are good for the garage.
Since the Yaris will last double as long as the others it's effectively half the price.
the ibiza was modeled to compete with the VWs . thats why it aces .
clear winner here
Seat for me.Hottest small car.
I got a leon st rf in November, they had the new ibiza RF in orange with a carbon pack on it. it looked brilliant.
But only the high trim levels look quite good or "hot" as you would call it...My university got some Ibizas in the very basic trim and they just look boring, dull and ugly.
@@aircraftspottingDe1 tbf to seat, all cars looks bland in their lower trim levels. Even when you go up a segment, to at any level. I love the massa 6, but in entry spec it's horrid. And BMW give you nothing. Jeremy Clarkson once said, BMW would charge you for the air in the cabin if they could.
The lowest trim are usally only purchased by hire firms and as company cars like you discribe.
In the early 2000s I works for a combat that supplied us with astra, corrola, focus, segnemt cars. They was usally always entry trims. But hay free car, and petrol card.
Also the reason I got the FR trim on my leon.
@@StephenButlerOne Yeah that sadly apply to many cars, that the lowest trim level look very bland, but the VW group is the "king" of bad looking entry level models...Some of them doesn't even have a radio and basically no features. So you have to pay extra for nearly everything :D
@@aircraftspottingDe1 which model doesn't have a radio? I've not heard of that. Most vw cars (like most) come with a touch screen and android auto/apple car play.
Vx and Ford have probably the worst stsndarf interiors given they ars a major brand. The focus/astra ares naff no matter tdh trim leven inside. As is the corsa and fiesta. Then 4 are basically main stays of in the top 6 top selling cars evey month since jesus bought his first sandals. This is why they just don't update and short change loyal customers.
Yaris. Toyota is the best I am an x VW car enthusiast that never driven Japanese cars before, I bought a Hybrid Yaris since 2014. The quality in German cars has dropped so much...
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
Anyone notice the camera shakes the most in the “better” car. 🤦🏻♂️
Facial expression scoring is much clearer than any other scoring system I've seen :) Nice review!
IBIZAAAAA
Whyyyy is the resolution so low???
Nah, that doesn’t bother me. The magnificence of your videos certainly makes up for it
Hello, Ethan.

Maybe because your using a potato.
Im about to lease a car for the next 36 months and I think that SEAT Ibiza is my winner for now.
4:07 Matt magically changes his clothes to demonstrate rear space
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.
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 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 hate Asian car styling. Except for Mazda.
Same!!!
@A real petrol-head Korean cars aren't bad! Kia for example made a huge improvement over the 20 years! Same as Hyundai and Mazda! I agree with you about Chinese cars, they suck lol, especially Xiangling, Geely and BYD!
Thing is Mazda is the least reliable japanese brand, the best are Toyota, Honda
@@3381-c5v No, Daihatsu and Mitsubishi are the least reliable, and Infiniti is the most reliable one!
Ukog Nos not wanna lie, cause I’m not 100 % sure, but Kia improved in the last years so much with their design because they’ve got a German as their lead designer. He was working for VAG before I believe. So thats the major reason why Kia doesn’t look so creepy like other Asian cars
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.
1st -Seat
2nd-Skoda
3rd-Yaris
Honda Jazz Dynamic. Good fuel econ, fun to thrash, magic seats, Honda Sensing, CarPlay, 1.5 NA engine, awesome 6spd manual, fold seats and it’s CAVERNOUS for its class. Oh, and 800 cup holders. Silly omission Carwow.
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
Got a 2004 yaris 1.4d4d remaped got it for 6 years now. Awesome little car.
Toyota Yaris was recently launched as a luxury sedan in India
A mid sized sedan not a luxury one.
Lol. Luxury pricing only. The car itself isn't worth the money.
Kunal Verma that’s why it’s luxury over there because people don’t want to pay much money for a car :)
It's good reliable car.
Do a Polo vs Ibiza comparison as I think a lot of people are undecided which one to go for including myself.
The yaris obviously. Best car ever made
It's part of my job to drive many cars every day. Yaris is just a reliable car and there's nothing else to enjoy at it. I would never buy it! BUT, many people disagree with me... I'm from Greece and this car is a best seller for many years cause most of the people they see it as a bargain. They don't really care if it has cheap plastics or there's no any driving experience. Is a recipe for the most people for whom driving is nothing more than to just do their job. If you like cars in a "deeper" perspective yes, you don't buy such a car
Toyota Yaris, if you need comfort and reliability
@Juib Morrowind How did it go? I just bought a 2001 Yaris for £450. Looked at tbe last several MOTs and it sailed through so fingered crossed 🤞
@Juib Morrowind I am not bothered wait things like cruise control to be honest. I want a car that reliable. I already have a 2002 Mini but still needs work done hence why I bought tbe Yaris as my daily driver until Mini is sorted
I've got a Fabia, and it has Apple Carplay & Android Auto. Works exactly the same as the ibiza just on a but of a smaller screen
I just got a 1.5litre Clio and it is amazing
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
8:46,9:32,10:40 just made this video even better 🤣
We use the Canadian speck 2016 Yaris cars for delivery at my work, they all have high miles and have never needed work done, strong cars
That's Toyota in a nutshell
Here in Brazil the Toyota Yaris is much more beautiful and better finished and very different from the model you have there
Igreja P Nova Aliança Josiel Same in Indonesia :))
Não !!!!...aqui é tosco TB , a vovoyota é tosca
I bought a 2019 model Ibiza 115 FR with sunroof for just over £15 k. It's not bad but be aware that the steering is completely numb, the infotainment is glitchy and not ergonomic and the interior feels cheap. The tailgate needs a hefty slam to shut properly and the LED headlamps seem to wind up some other drivers.
Love your videos! Keep up...
I bought the Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI DSG7 2020 back in 2019 and it has electric windows in the back and a raisable boot floor with a spare tire for the sub woofer.
Is DSG7 DQ200 0CW good?
@@dragospahontu It changes to second gear way too early but other than that it's really good and smooth, especially when accelerating hard.
Only one of them will get past 200,000km. Guess which one.😊
The Ibiza is great drove one as a rental I'm about 1.9meter tall and felt far more comfortable than I'd expected.
so what if you compare ibiza with new polo and new fiesta?
The only question in such a comparison would be .
I bought a supermini recently. Looked at pretty much all of them. Because I'm both tall and wide the interior space was most important aspect for me. The Fabia and the Yaris were extremely cramped. The Ibiza was OK, but at the end I didn't buy it, because it was too expensive for the class. I don't consider either of these a top choice.
what was the car you bought?
"Less likely to break coz it's Toyota"... Now you'd be surprised after 100k km.
Skorrigan, so true, i had a 2006 toyota yaris sedan, it was an unbreakable car, but, whenever i had the audacity to accelerate more than 100 km i felt like asking for death haha
