Im after a car for family of 4 and a dog,teenage kids. I think the fiesta is a great all round car but I've read a fair few reviews that the Ibiza is just as good but even more spacious, anybody got experience of this, or an even better alternative, cheers folks.

Ibiza interior space is impressive (as with it's platform-mate Polo). Close to the previous gen Leon. Definitely better than the Fiesta.

Personally I find the Fiesta interior more dated looking than the Ibiza if that is important.

Be careful on specs with Ibizas - they are quite low, and didn't have the option of electric rear windows on most of the range at first (not sure if that is still the case. Might seem silly but that was a deal breaker for me on the car at the time, Excellence trim was the only one with the "toys" I like but it is rare and expensive.

Polos have much better spec (and there are a lot more to choose from).

For what it's worth I ended up with a Hyundai i20 which also has good space, and plenty of "toys".
Interesting, I never realised the ibiza and polo used the same platform.
