Article up top says 76.3 mpg (combined cycle), don't know about the A/C.
I don't think the SEAT Ibiza (chassis) is primarily constructed as a economobile since it is available with larger engines also, it's just this 1.4 TDI that gets the exceptional fuel economy (note: when driven carefully). The previous generation (-2008) scored 5 stars at Euro NCAP crash tests, not bad! Comparing with the Smart ForTwo (2,5m) the Ibiza is a large car at 4m length..
