For just under 6 grand I don't think you can knock it.

On the road
Driving
It's not bad for a small car.
Performance
It's better than I expected round town. Struggles a bit if you don't push it on long inclines.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems with reliability.
Image
Seat's image, as a manufacturer, is improving all the time and the Arosa does look the part, especially in black.
Comfort
Front of cabin feels quite roomy due to high head room. The back seats are strictly for the kids though. I enjoy driving the car.

Security and Service
Security
Only standard door locks. Bit poor really.
Service
Shocking aftersales service from the dealership. Have changed dealer for servicing and they have redeemed the image for Seat a little.

Other
Rear brakes sound like they're binding in the wet. Boot release/lock is very fiddley. I'd probably go for remote central locking next time.
