The seats are comfortable and easy to find a proper driving position. The two bodies are available with the same number of engines (six), although it varies the amount of power from the gasoline more affordable version. Thus, the five-door Fabia is available with three gasoline HTP -1.2 60 hp and 1.2 TSI of 85 or 105 and three CV-75 TDI Diesel -1.6, 90 or 105 hp.

For other similar models with a diesel engine 90 hp, as a Skoda Fabia Combi, a Peugeot 207 SW or a Renault Clio Grand Tour – has a better relationship between price and equipment. It differs from the five-door Ibiza mainly on the design of the body and that is longer (4.23 m, 18 cm). This allows a larger trunk (430 l, 138 l +) and easier to load because the load edge is closer to the ground. The interior space for occupants is practically the same. It has a good driving position and a rear seat not too large. With a 1.2 TSI engine with 105 hp, the Ibiza ST gives a very good result. Although it lacks the power of 122 hp 1.4 TSI has a very smooth and strong thrust from a low speed. Also goes well from a standstill and overtaking can be performed safely on long marches without starting the maneuver with the engine at a speed too high. In general, it is much more pleasant to use than a car with such power naturally aspirated engine, such as the 105 hp 1.6 Ibiza . The engine sound is perceived in the interior is high when accelerating at full load, but the engine does not go to a high speed.
