The Car You'll Drive

Seat Ibiza

The 2019 Seat Ibiza is more than just a stylish little car; it’s a perfect learner vehicle designed to help you feel confident from the driver’s seat. Compact, yet roomy, it offers excellent visibility and easy handling, making it ideal for new drivers learning the basics. With a smooth 6-speed manual gearbox and a manual handbrake, it’s great practice for those moving on to their own cars. Plus, the dual controls and extra instructor mirrors that we've had fitted, are there to ensure a safe learning environment for both the learner and the instructor. Here’s everything you need to know about what makes this car a fantastic choice for your driving lessons!

The outside...

Compact and Cool: The Seat Ibiza isn’t just nice to look at - it’s the perfect size for learning, giving you a bit of extra confidence in tight spaces.

Clear Visibility: You’ll appreciate the excellent visibility this car offers - making it easier to spot everything around you and build confidence.

Easy to Park: Because of its size, getting the hang of parking and maneuvering becomes a lot simpler, especially in tight spots.

The Inside...

Smooth 6-Speed Manual: The gear shifts feel smooth and responsive, making it easier to get a feel for a manual gearbox. It’s ideal for anyone who’s new to driving or wants to master a manual. And yes, we will get up into 6th gear. It's a lot easier than you'd expect.

Logical Layout: The dashboard and controls are easy to reach, use, and understand. Everything is where you'd expect it to be, and will become second nature for you to use after a while.

Manual Handbrake: This Ibiza has a traditional manual handbrake, which is great practice since many people’s first cars have one instead of an electronic version. It’s a skill you’ll appreciate knowing!

Driving School Adaptations...

Dual Controls: I’ve got my own set of pedals, so if things get tricky, I’m ready to help out when you need it.

Extra Mirrors: I use a couple of additional mirrors to make sure I have a full view of everything around us, which helps keep lessons as safe and smooth as possible.

Roof Box: The roof box makes sure you’re easily recognized as a learner on the road, which usually means other drivers are a bit more patient and give you space as you practice.
