Hello! My name is Frank, I am 39 years old and this is my first post here in the forum. We as a family (2 adults, 1 child) want to buy a new car this autumn (new car, day registration or used car up to 20tkm). Our great interest is in a Seat Ibiza ST Viva Style 1.6 TDI 77KW as new car. We would get this one with a few extras for approx. 17,5K€ at the friendly SEAT partner. Currently we drive a Opel Astra Caravan Edition (EZ 07.2001, 84PS , 1.6 8V). Above all, we attach great importance to a very good energy efficiency class (at least B). The vehicle should be economical, durable and reliable. We plan to drive the car for about 10 years. Every year about 15 to 18tkm come together. The Ibiza should become our first car. As a second car a Ford Fiesta MK6 is available. A Seat Ibiza we could already test extensively as a car on Menorca on holiday. I have already studied various test reports: http://www.adac.de/…/Seat_Ibiza_ST_1_6_TDI_Style_DPF.pdfhttp://media.seat.de/flv/seatde/pdf/AuBi11_26060_Permanent test.pdf Also on autohaus24.de I have already configured a comparable model and would achieve here a price advantage of just under €1.5K compared to the offer of the local SEAT partner. I would like to receive from you experience values specifically to this engine/vehicle. How does the engine work in everyday life, the space ratio of the vehicle for a small vehicle reach amilie. What expensive repairs have you already experienced? Links to further test and experience reports? What does it say against buying this model? Thank you for your support in advance. Greetings Frank
