    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.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    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.
