Driving
I do 100 miles a day and is great for overtaking, gets to 80-90 without trying.
Performance
It's a great engine and flies so long as you can get the traction. Can also be chipped upto about 180bhp

Living with it
Reliability
Never had any slightest hint of trouble
Image
The FR front grill and wheels stand it out from the crowd. I think it looks great!
Comfort
The seats keep you nicely tucked in and cushion you a bit from the quite hard suspension
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm as standard, central locking etc. My only quibble is that it doesn't chirp when you lock it.
Service
Seat have been given a bad press, but they're not all that bad. Although, as with all dealerships, they are overpriced for servicing etc.
