What does this car say about you?

Like I care?!

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

Like the look.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Possibly

What are you likely to buy next?

VW Golf.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£12,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

OK deal with trade in and better deal through the Durham dealer than my local Darlington dealer!!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Fuel economy, low road tax and running costs, design and performance + cheaper than a Polo but better looking!

What was the dealer like?

Aren't dealers fine when they're chasing a sale but couldn't care a toss after sale!!? ('Disappears like a salesman smile!!) - wonder why SEAT dealers languish way down the satisfaction leagues?! Typical. Just fortunate I didn't have to resort to the dealer often.

What's it like to drive?

Very firm ride but handles well, bit noisey at speed - tyre roar mainly thus could have done with better sound insulation. Turbo diesel engine performs well but could do with 6 speed 'box.

What's it like to park?

OK but rear vis a little obstructive.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Fuel injector needed replacing under warranty otherwise nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

Being a hatchback.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

17" wheel upgrade look good.
