For first-time drivers, a supermini remains one of the best options to build confidence at the wheel while still being able to fit into most lifestyles. And two of the finest picks are the SEAT Ibiza and Vauxhall Corsa. The Ibiza recently celebrated 40 years in production, while the current Mk5 machine has been around since 2017. It’s a similar story for the Corsa, which arrived in 2019 and was updated in 2023, before being enhanced again with the introduction of the value-driven Yes edition. This adds more kit at a value-for-money price, but does the Corsa have the all-round ability to make it a better choice than the Ibiza?
