mReview: 2022 SEAT Ibiza - The CUPRA-lite Experience
The SEAT Ibiza may be one of the most affordable cars across the entire Volkswagen-Audi Group portfolio, but do not be fooled into thinking that it is anything but a fantastic car.
And you may be surprised at that revelation, especially considering that us auto journos have access to some of the coolest, fastest and most expensive cars on a regular basis. But none of those cars pack the charm and character that the Ibiza has in spades.
So just what makes this supermini so charming? Find out here!

As a reputable automotive publication obviously, we've thoughtfully also included automotive-related amenities at the various points of interest.

Motorist Car Buyer's Guide: Lexus IS200t
If there is a dark horse in the Compact Executive Sedan segment, the Lexus IS just could be it.
Introduced in 2013, the third generation of the Lexus IS was derived from Lexus’ LF-CC concept, which itself drew inspiration from the LF-LC concept and the Lexus LFA. As the only Japanese model in an extremely competitive segment, the Lexus IS was always up against stiff competition primarily from the Germans, but also from the Swedes and the British.
But what should you look out for before buying one?
