My sister has just bought a Seat Ibiza, after i managed to persuade her to look at them instead of 206s, Clios and Fiestas. She drove some of each and decided that the Ibiza was much better to drive, looked nicer and was build far better than the rest.
She's bought an x reg 1.4 S with alloys, climate control, airbags, electrics etc, etc and it really is a great little car.
