SEAT Exeo Saloon (2009 - 2013) 2.0 CR SE (143bhp) 4d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I picked something a bit different, and did not waste money.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are a bit unsure to start with, Seat is not known for larger saloons, but after a demo drive all have said "I see why you picked it".

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would certainly have another one.

What are you likely to buy next?

I would not hesitate to have another Exeo, but perhaps the Estate version.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£21,000

When did you buy the car?

March 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car is on lease so really could not negotiate a better deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked good value.

What was the dealer like?

Great, very helpful from the moment I walked through the door.

What's it like to drive?

I feel really at home in it, its very comfortable, quiet and responsive, some road tests have said it does not corner well, I chicken out long before the car can misbehave. The VW 2lt 143 engine give all the power I need, and provides good fuel consumption even on short runs.

What's it like to park?

Rear sensors make life easy, visability is reasonable and the mirrors can be adjusted very simply.

Have you had any problems with the car?

So far it has been faultless.

What's most practical about your car?

The performance and economy which are both very impressive.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The SE is loaded with all the gadgets I need, but auto lighting, wipers and self dip mirror I find the most usful.
