SEAT Arosa (1997 - 2004) 1.4 TDi 3d Owner Review

1.4 TDi 3d
SEAT Arosa 1997-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The 1.4tdi is a great car very quick in standard form and when remapped it pulls like a freight train and will max out its speedometer, even when remapped it's very economical easily returning 60+ mpg £29 to fill it up and only £30 Road tax, it's a great little car fun to drive cheap to run and insure and will put a smile on your face regardless of how you drive it.

How reliable do you find the car?

Electric window mechanism uses a cable system that are notoriously bad and mine has gone, about £30 to buy new parts for it. And the stalk switches do degrade over time but are very cheap to buy and easy to fix.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Minimal boot space does limit your shopping but since I never usually have any more than a single passenger putting the back seats down solves all those problems.
