Fantastic fun. Not much keeps up with it.

Living with it
Reliability
Rear wash wipe jet started to leak, then messed up the rear door sensor. If that's it, it can't be bad.
Image
For those in the know then yes. 2002 bodykit gave it purpose.
Comfort
Everything adjusts in every way, so you can get the perfect position, not a lot of rear legroom.

Security and Service
Security
Seemed ok until rear door sensor played up then the alarm went off at 3am.
Service
Even though an import from Holland, Seat UK and local dealer were excellent. Full 2 years Seat UK warranty and Seat Assist.
