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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    This is the base model, but it feels like a top of the range car.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Sill expecting SEAT to phone me up telling me they under-charged me.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only passengers in the back complain about the hard ride. TUFF LUCK.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It is a 1.2, so it is never going to be fast, but it can be nippy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Had the car 3 months/1200 miles and no problem. You can tell this is a member of the VW family.

    With this model being newish and not a big seller, it is getting some attention.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Deadlocks, remote key and an alarm (which I paid extra for).

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Had a few problems with JCT600 BRADFORD, but a free service helped.
