Fabia is a box but with nice detailing that makes it stand out and look more aggresive.
Ibiza is sleek and understated, certainly not boy racer compared to the pumped up Fabia!

Ibiza trim is tacky? Well its better than VRS! VRS carpets are much poorer and the poor quality of VRS seat material actually figures as one of the sticky subjects at the top of the Fabia forum!

Ibiza is also 100kg lighter which benefits all aspects of the cars performance dynamics. Ibiza's also come with pikey mod of a vented weelarch liner as standard

Ibiza lacks a fridge glovebox but in other dynamic aspects is the better car......

Yes residuals are lower right now, but if you are buying seconhand it means they are also relative bargains as the main lump of depreciation has already been suffered
