Why so Great ? Choose between performance or economy

The new Seat Ibiza has been on sale for some time, but the range will be swelled by hot Cupra and frugal Ecomotive models this year.

The Cupra is based on the three-door Seat Ibiza Sports Coupe. It has a 177bhp 1.4litre petrol engine that is turbo- and supercharged, and linked to a seven-speed semi-auto gearbox with steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.

To complement its sporty performance, the Seat Ibiza 2009 also has 17-inch alloy wheel, a rear diffuse, sports sears and aluminum pedals.

The Ecomotive sits at the other extreme of the scale, with tweaks bringing its carbon dioxide output down to 98kg/km, on a par with the lowest emitting mass-produced four-seaters. It will come in the three and five door versions, powered by a 79bhp 1.4 diesel. Seat Ibiza 2009.

On Sale: Second Quarter

Why so Great ? Rock-bottom price and running costs

The Nissan Pixo is a five-door, four-seater car that’s around the same size as the Fiat 500.

It’s based on the new Suzuki Alto and will be built that company for Nissan in India.

To keep the price down, only one engine will be available, a 1.0-litre petrol producing 64bhp. Running costs won’t break the bank, either, because the car will average 61.4mpg.

CO2 emissions of 103g/km are frustratingly close to the 100g/km mark at which cars now become VED (road tax) free, but the Nissan Pixo 2009 will still cost just £20 to tax for a year.

Stability control, curtain airbags and air-conditioning are options on both trims. Entry-level Visia cars get two airbag, while Acenta models add keyless entry, a CD stereo, electric front windows and side airbags. Other options include metallic or pearlescent paint and alloy wheel Nissan Pixo 2009.

Overall, this is a nice and little car that we want in cities. Next STAR Cars will be our favorite Seat Ibiza, look forward to see it? Welcome back to check it out in a short period.
