The question

How reliable is the 2004 SEAT Ibiza? I had a great 2000 model, though big issue with the radio draining battery when car turned off.

Hi Ian,

Ah, a car close to my particular heart. I owned one for several years and can happily report that it never gave a day's trouble. 

That said, watch for issues with the brake servo, the fuel pump and the alternator. And the plastics in the cabin are quite fragile and easily-marked, so a perfectly healthy car can look surprisingly tired inside.
