Skoda Fabia vs Toyota Yaris vs SEAT Ibiza 2019 - which is the best small car? 

New polo is based of the new Ibiza btw

@@the_roadbites So you are saying that the new audi a1 is also based on seat?! please no more jokes.

Remi D but it is 😂😂

Remi D clown

UNTIL NOW!!! 🔥🔥🔥

NOW DRAG RACE THEM

carwow please please please drag race them

This is the review no one wants to watch

@@RokerSMisisipi then why did u watch it

exactly, all i wanted to see

You already had a RU-vid channel that compared all the compact. The Ibiza was the fastest in retakes and in exits.

Great choice

@A real petrol-head My Fabia has horizonal vents.

@A real petrol-head No, I am not looking at the centre console. I am looking at the extreme ends of my dash board where they are horizontal.

@A real petrol-head They are both horizontal. All you mean to say is that the Octavia vents are longer.

@A real petrol-head Yes I understand what you are pointing out. You just chose the wrong word. Both vents are horizontal, one is longer than the other.

...and the yaris will run like new 20 years later, while the other two will be reused for metal and plastic for snow showels before the toyota needs anything

You can get a flat bottom steering wheel on the Ibiza too, carwow just never get a good spec of the ibiza every time they review it.

FR modeld get it anyway, and have since the last gen started

Tiff Needell would strongly disagree with you lol

I had a great 2010 ibiza for the last 6 months as my first car until sadly i was rear ended on saturday and it will most likely be written off, sad times

Why some people like flat bottom steering wheels in road cars?

Same!!!

@A real petrol-head Korean cars aren't bad! Kia for example made a huge improvement over the 20 years! Same as Hyundai and Mazda! I agree with you about Chinese cars, they suck lol, especially Xiangling, Geely and BYD!

Thing is Mazda is the least reliable japanese brand, the best are Toyota, Honda

@@3381-c5v No, Daihatsu and Mitsubishi are the least reliable, and Infiniti is the most reliable one!

Ukog Nos not wanna lie, cause I’m not 100 % sure, but Kia improved in the last years so much with their design because they’ve got a German as their lead designer. He was working for VAG before I believe. So thats the major reason why Kia doesn’t look so creepy like other Asian cars

All VAG cars have shitty halogen headlights and tail lights in their lower and mid trim level cars. Only the top trim level VAG cars have LED head/tail lights.

I have a toyota Yaris 2019 with 50 km and it impressed me! Definetly the best out of the mini-trio.

That's impressive! The mileage too! I have a 2010 Yaris (the 100HP version) and although a little bland, I actually like my little car a lot. The seats fold all the way down so I've managed to transport all sorts of bulky stuff in it, including a 1.60m fridge, with the boot closed. 145.000 kms, and it's starting to consume a bit of oil unfortunately. But it still drives as smooth as the day I bought it.

Billy Jack diesel huh

My sister has a 2005 Yaris and it is still so good, everyone is impressed. The car mechanics that did a check up said she can at least still use it for like 5 years if she takes well care of it

Just out of curiosity, how does one drive an average of 200 km/day for 6 years? 270 if we factor in only weekdays.

fun compared to what? Going on a bus? Getting stabbed?

fun compared to wasting time and money fixing electronics/windows/locks/chipset that the other ones are notorious for

It's a decent car Toyota

It's a good reliable car, not ugly at all.

Model in video is ugly but new one looks amazing

Yaris is made out of mazda engine

that is what i thought when i bought my yaris. after 70k km a failure... a huge dissapointment

@@filipjankoski421 no it's not

Well my Fabia is nearing 300K km without major repairs. Also looking at the roads here I see loads of older Fabias and Ibizas (most are automatics in my country), but with time much less Japanese small cars.

@@filipjankoski421 The Yaris in North America is a rebadged Mazda, but the Yaris everywhere else is Toyota's own design.

The mountains over there are quiet stunning. Cheers

Oh hello fellow romanian

@han0509 From what i remember, it was the Bugegi mountains and Piatra Craiului. Very nice the second one.

You'd probably want to buy a used car because you are a beginner.

It's a great little car!

I have a seat ibiza fr as my first car. Love it to bits

I have a 2012 Ibiza 1.2tsi and had it since I passed 3 and half years ago. Perfect first car. Enough power to keep up on the motorways and to dart around town, dirt cheap insurance.

@@SkhTrains what did you pay for your first insurance? I have a 1.2tsi fr and ended up paying 2600 for my first year :(

Yaris 5.3/100l (1.5L Hybrid)

Skoda is 4.8 / 100

Skorrigan, so true, i had a 2006 toyota yaris sedan, it was an unbreakable car, but, whenever i had the audacity to accelerate more than 100 km i felt like asking for death haha

I've seen many Toyota Yaris' reach 600k on their original power-train...

@@mrgreg6177 yes, I've seen the mk1 Yaris do over 400k miles on the original engine and box. My old one did 200k on the original timing chain before being written off.

Yeah, but I just can't imagine myself keepig a car for that long. Especially a car that I don't really like.

Too bad the trade-off is driving something brutally ugly.

@@Astke yeah and that's fine, Toyota isn't for people like you lol

True, I've just got the 2019 version and leg room is fine. But I am a quite tall (1'90m) and the space behind the driver seat is quite narrow for a similar size passenger. But it is just right for someone smaller.

Parth Desai that’s what I would go for too 🥰

Cheap VW Polo vs. cheap VW Polo vs. Toyota Toyota hast won of course.

@A real bisexual petrol-head wow that's a bit harsh, maybe?

It's a good but small car. Buy Skoda Rapid instead. You will thank me later.

@montalitè DZ the seat copied the škoda

You claim the Yaris is safer yet it lost to the Ibiza pretty much across the board in Euro NCAP crash tests.

@@oxaile4021 The Yaris got five out of five stars in Euro ncap, the same as the Seat Ibiza. So what is your argument? 🤣 www.euroncap.com/sv/results/toyota/yaris/29484 www.euroncap.com/sv/results/seat/ibiza/27356

@@jhmsmarttv795 Yaris-Ibiza, adult protection 83%-95%, children 80-77%, pedestrian 63-76%, support systems 57-60%. Clear win for the Ibiza, mainly because of adult protection.

@@kostasmats7922 Toyota is still the better car overall. Those marginal numbers doesn't matter as much IRL as on paper. But if that makes you believe Seat makes good cars, please be my guest. 🤣

@@jhmsmarttv795 12% better at adult protection is not marginal at all, it can be life or death in a big crash. You should be more open minded and accept facts, even if you loose an argument. Yes, Seat does make good cars, as does Toyota as does every other major manufacturer. I would definitely take a new Corolla over a Leon but in this case the Ibiza is a better car except for reliability which is, without doubt, Toyota's characteristic as a brand. It doesn't mean though Ibiza is not reliable new tsi engines seem to be ok so far. On the other hand i would definitely consider the hybrid version of the Yaris over an equally priced Ibiza if my priorities were economy, reliability and ease of use, because of the cvt.

yeah, youtube has some transcoding issues these days.

Give it time... UHD will be here soon!

@@carwow I would not hold your breath for that :D ... yesterday other channel published video and it took RU-vid 8 hours to get it to HD...

Well 4 hours later...still 360p

Ok mr treehugger...

Hybrid technics in a small car? The most useless thing. I need only 4 to 6 liters in my 1.5 TSI Ibiza. And I always have the torque that I need. Even a Diesel is more useful in a small car as you can extend your range and save money if you often drive longer distances. Hybrid is only a compromise. And this compromise is only good for someone, who can't use a real electric car (BEV). Speaking for a small car, a usual combustion engine without heavy battery and electric motor can do it very well. And Diesel... Well, I'm not a Diesel fan. But it has some good points to save fuel and it can be clean in some way (SCR catalyst and other). It would be very stupid to blame all Diesel.

I remember years ago my dad was driving a Prius he had borrowed and told me how it was the greatest thing ever, he told me that it was not a slow car either and that he'd show how fast it really was... i kept waiting for him to floor it not realizing he had already been flooring it for a good while :DDDD TSI ftw, it's efficient and kicks you in the back real good when you put your foot down.

Barbarus Bloodshed - I’m thinking the hybrid is a waste to a degree because it adds a massive amount of weight. The Yaris is 1160kg whilst the newest Suzuki Swift 1.2 is just 890kg. A 270kg difference is absolutely massive in small cars!

​@@mr8I7 yes, that is a massive difference, seems though as if you're still saving fuel this way as long as you're driving around within the city. If we are talking country roads the standard petrol engine is the best option at this moment. BUT (and this goes to all the people here) just because there are still some issues with the hybrid technology doesn't mean that it's not the way to go. These issues can and will be solved. And when did we ever come up with a new technology that was promising and went "Right, but let's not do this, because it still has some issues, completely abandon this new technology and instead keep using the old one!" That's complete nonsense. Especially if that old technology is polluting the air you breath. There are also new batteries on the market now that are lighter and can store much more energy. And there are companies that are working on batteries that are again much lighter and can store more energy. Basically within the next few years we will have batteries with a much greater capacity and much lower weight. Soooo.... where's the point in not building hybrids? And I am a "car person"... I'm a designer. Of course I love cars. I like a beautiful car, and I like fast cars... But fast and beautiful doesn't have to mean bad for the environment. The Tesla Model S is quite beautiful and extremely fast... and if we produce more electric energy from renewable sources electric cars are the most environment-friendly kind of car we could have. It's all about realism. Is it realistic that Diesel engines will stay relevant? Nope. Pretty sure they will be banned within the next ten years because the public doesn't like them. And that's why it's stupid to buy a Diesel. And is it realistic that we will keep driving cars with petrol engines? Nope. We HAVE to use something else. It's not like we have a choice on this. So why would I go and buy something with an oldschool petrol engine and make it look like I'm an idiot who doesn't get that? Things move forward, with or without me... the only choice I have is whether or not I wanna be part of that change. Those are the reasons why it makes no sense still putting reviews of cars on YT that are not electric or at least hybrids. They won't be relevant in the future, and that future might be in a few years.

Νίκος Γρηγορίου the Skoda looks better but the seat is the better car

@@vantablack5690 Lol, the Skoda looks better.... that's a good one.

i would take the 1.8 litlre supercharged engine of yaris

@@pharaongaming8617 Hmmmm 26grand for a Yaris when you could get better built, better equipped more powerful cars for the same price.

@@L8ugh1ngm8n1 it's more unique it has more character it's sort of cute and has a supercharger and if you watch video of Carwow drag racing it only mini Cooper s John Cooper works was faster also grmn is rare and is likely to become future classic thus appreciate in value

The exterior of the Ibiza is way better than the Polo. And now the Ibiza has also the Virtual Cockpit.

@@Ryo-xx1lm the exterior of the polo is way more classy that the Ibiza, looks much more premium. Virtual cockpit is also an option on the polo?

@@mathiasiversen9997 Yes. It definitely is! I'd go for the Polo just for the overall build quality and materials - that is if you can spare some extra cash.

@@mathiasiversen9997 LOL. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

@Teamgeist It is a car, not a muse my friend!

You mean the vw polo because it's basically a vw

@@carholic-sz3qv actually is not the same but whatever...

Design isn’t great with Toyotas but still look better than a Skoda, so boring it could make you fall asleep in the showroom

Actually toyota has so many cars on the market its the only car manufacturer that has the highest car model in the world finally that need redesign im sure they are working on a total redesign of all those cars

It is worse than 206 Peugeot's interior. Ed: btw I've been waiting for more from a JAPANESE company in 2019.

@@jayjay378378 The Skoda might be a bit boring but that that doesn't make it a bad looking car. The Yaris however makes me want to rip my eyes out so i don't have to ever see it again.

Oxaile I get what your saying just look at the Prius Toyotas are to edgy and not my cup on tea, but only reason I couldn’t get a Skoda is they look like a car you buy when your not interested in cars they don’t handle that we’ll either , a car for people who don’t care what car they have

Haha yeah right just like in my 1985 Lada lol

The Yaris console is great, as it means adjusting the handbrake is so easy. (1 bolt and a few clips) Love it. 👍

Did it last the DSG?

@@danielesalvigni Yeah I still have the car. Works great and so far it has given me 0 issues.

@@Nghtmare30589 do you have to service the dsg because I heard with the 7 speed you don't have to?

@@adamp7298 Ive had the car since Dec 2018, Seat was notifying me that I had to take the car for service at 12 and 24 months so I would say yes.

Igreja P Nova Aliança Josiel Same in Indonesia :))

Não !!!!...aqui é tosco TB , a vovoyota é tosca

well, fusebox for the win! :D

A mid sized sedan not a luxury one.

Lol. Luxury pricing only. The car itself isn't worth the money.

Kunal Verma that’s why it’s luxury over there because people don’t want to pay much money for a car :)

It's good reliable car.

@Juib Morrowind How did it go? I just bought a 2001 Yaris for £450. Looked at tbe last several MOTs and it sailed through so fingered crossed 🤞

@Juib Morrowind I am not bothered wait things like cruise control to be honest. I want a car that reliable. I already have a 2002 Mini but still needs work done hence why I bought tbe Yaris as my daily driver until Mini is sorted

I have a Škoda Octavia that has over 500,000kms on it and I haven't done anything to it other than regular servicing and consumables and that's not unusual at all.

well Skoda was in the top 10 most reliable brands for 2018 in the UK finishing 6th, Toyota however didn't feature in the top 10.....hmmmmmmm....... www.autoexpress.co.uk/best-cars/driver-power/91289/best-car-manufacturers-2018

I have a Polo, I’ve done 79k miles and it’s never broken down. The heater fuse blew and that’s it. Super reliable car. VW is a great brand with great reliability.

It’s more of a perception anymore.

Actually I would say that reliability of any car is not just a matter of car brand but actually a lot of factors like driving habits, service quality, and most importantly, luck. Something as simple as luck may determine if your car will last 18 years or if it breaks right after your warranty ends.

How is it? Thinking of getting one for my first too

The only question in such a comparison would be .

So u always gonna go to vw engines ?

@@amrdel2730 that was 2 years ago😂now i drive mini cooper and loving it

@@singleplayer_gamer2 years on, what are you driving now? 🤣

That's in the US and Japan

why? The Yaris is clearly the worst car of the 3.

Well, it is not as easy as that. The Fabia is available as Combi also, the Ibiza is not. This can make the difference if you are looking for the biggest trunk for the lowest price.

But the last gen Polo still blows the Ibiza away...

@A real petrol-head : Seat Ibizia was definitely offered as an estate, but only in the previous generation. Seat cancelled the Combi in the newest generation tested here.

​@@bremCZ They are the exact same car underneath their skin, sure the Polo is better, you get some soft touch materials, the design, perhaps different suspension setup, a VW badge etc but you pay a price for it.

@@kostasmats7922 When you drive both you realise they are far from the same car.
