Good looks but little substance

SEAT’s new SportsCoupe feels more like a supermini than a sporty hatch

It's hard not to feel a little disappointed by SEAT's new three-door Ibiza. From the outside, the SportCoupé has certainly got the looks to match its badge, but once you climb inside, it feels more like a regular supermini than a sporty hatch. What's more, the performance from the 1.6-litre engine does little to shake this impression. Nevertheless, it's a very good-looking and highly competent small car. ·
