FIRST UK DRIVE Does diesel supermini add up?
SUPERMINIS still account for a big proportion of new car sales. But small diesel cars have suffered in recent times, thanks in part to the uncertainty on future taxation troubles.
Yet for many high-mileage motorists, diesel is still the best solution. And some of those users still value the convenience and practicality that a small five-door hatch can offer.
With these buyers in mind, SEAT has just added the frugal 1.6 TDI to its popular Ibiza range – and this is our first chance to try one in the UK. In big-selling SE Technology trim, it comes with all the kit you’d want, too.
