I currently have a SEAT Ibiza but I’m having problems with it and would like to trade it in. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable small/medium sized hatch back? I do have a 4 month old baby so wouldn’t be looking to get anything smaller than an Ibiza, with 5 doors.

They’re probably the closest to the Ibiza
