Either of these models are ideal as a first car for youngsters, or utility to survive in the big cities. Both road worthy move and share a price around 12,000 euros.

Both Seat Ibiza as the C3 are two quite large and with different patterns to choose representative utilities of the total sample of the segment. Specifically, 1.4 petrol engines protagonists are the minimum recommended to make road journeys and maintain tight urban consumption. In the case of there also Ibiza 1.4 100 hp, while the C3, the top step and passed to a 110 hp 1.6.

One of the sections more are taken into account in choosing a vehicle of this type besides price, of course, is usually the aesthetics. Many customers who need a means of transport to travel and meet this basic need, just looking for a nice, cheap car. So cheap today is more a wish than a reality, since in this segment is difficult to buy a car for less than 11,000 euros, excluding promotional offers. As for aesthetics, the C3 boasts more original than the Ibiza design, with rounded shapes that do not leave indifferent.

The “Spanish” model is more conservative, but no less attractive, keeping the front with the family resemblance to the brand prints all its models. In addition, the Ibiza is available in both body with three and five-door, while the C3 only made five. C2 future with fewer and smaller battle itself will have three, like the Pluriel convertible.

With these utilities inside something similar happens. C3 commitment to design and originality, while in Ibiza premium functionality. The picture of the French model presents a little legible tachometer and a digital speedometer. The plastics used in the dashboard are not particularly renowned for the quality or touch or visually. The driving position is always slightly elevated, despite having height adjustment. The steering wheel adjustment in height and depth definitely helps to find the proper position.

The interior of the Ibiza is best solved with materials of medium quality and good fit. A box with easy to read and the driving position is close to the ideal in tourism. Fluffy seat is not as soft as the C3, which is appreciated when a long time is granted. In both cases the interior space is similar, although the distance legroom in the rear seats is greater in the Seat. By contrast, the height in the front seats presumed from outside Citroën favors.

In addition to urban travel routes also were presumably carried by road and motorway. For with either, and as long as we respect the legal limits, benefits will suffice. Since they have power to deal with steep slopes, overtaking or joining a fast track without fear. If what you want is to drive more joyful way, we will be forced to take the high engine turns, as these propellers do not walk more than enough torque and bass response seems low. In the case of Ibiza, engine configuration is more modern than the C3, with butt instead of 8V 16V. A high rate, and on winding roads, the behavior differs markedly. C3 understeer has a less firm attitude and a suspension, which combined with greater height of the body determines its behavior. In sections bumpy feeling behind the wheel is lack of rigidity of the assembly, with constant rebounds in the front. The frame of Ibiza is more neutral than his rival, with a comfortable cushion, but too soft for demanding driving. The transmitted ride quality exceeds that of C3 with a more precise direction and better feel the electric servo Citroen.

In the section on measurements taken brakes gave the advantage to Seat with a distance of 79.8 m to stop to 140 km / h compared to 82.2 m Citroen. Brake support is also more stable in Ibiza, with a more nervous at performing the same operation C3 rear. This model also helps system emergency brake is too sensitive, which can cause more than a start in city driving. If the brake pedal is depressed quickly, but without intensity, the ECU interprets that this is an emergency, enhancing the maximum braking without being necessary.

One of the virtues of these two utility is consumption. Without reaching the level of the next-generation turbodiesel with mechanical 1.4-liter gasoline daily use can make a city without fuel costs could pose a problem for its owner. Road demurely pace in either cases exceed 6 l / 100 km. Logically, traveling with the car loaded consumption increase, although more appreciable decline in performance that this use entails.
Regarding the standard equipment is the advantage for the C3. Finishing our unit SX Plus, it is very broad and includes standard with four airbags, ABS and air conditioning as highlights. In Ibiza the initial endowment is not as plentiful, although as an option you can go riding almost the same elements as in C3 at prices not exaggerated. Of course, when equals equipment, they are placed at a level very similar prices, but the base price is lower Seat. If we apply promotional discounts to which we are accustomed Citroën, can it finally left some euros below the Ibiza.

Both the utility Citroën as the Seat represent two options interesting purchase as it is latest models, with levels of active and passive safety of the highest category, both creditors four star EuroNCAP rating against frontal collision. The purchase would be the Ibiza balanced that together, it is a very interesting model. C3, meanwhile, responds more to interest in design and originality hypothetical buyer to driving dynamics and issues.
