Seat Ibiza Automatic Car Hire Crete
Specifications
The least expensive automatic we rent, and for a lot of visitors the sensible booking. A 1.0-litre turbo with 110 hp — the same engine and gearbox as the Polo and the Clio automatic — in a body that is a little firmer and a little sharper than either. You are not paying for ride height you will not use, and you still never touch a clutch on the road to Chania, which is close to two hours of bends in each direction. The boot is good for a hatchback of this size: two large cases with the parcel shelf in place, three at a squeeze. Four adults fit for a day trip; for a fortnight with four sets of luggage you want the Astra or the Captur. Where it gives ground to the SUVs is the last few hundred metres to a beach where the surface turns to gravel and ruts — take it slowly and most are still fine. If your holiday is roads rather than tracks, this is the cheapest way to have an automatic under you on all of them.
A midsize car is the balance most visitors want: enough boot space for two large cases, comfortable on the two-hour motorway runs to Chania or Sitia, and still narrow enough for village streets and the multi-storey car parks in town. If you are two adults touring the island rather than a family staying at one beach, this is usually the right size.
It is an automatic, which on Crete matters more than people expect. The coastal roads are a near-constant sequence of hairpins and the climbs inland are steep and long — not having to work a clutch through any of that leaves you free to look at the view.
