Reliability
1.8 T engine is know to be one of the best around. Unfortunately suffered from VW/Audi group coils problem. Fine once replaced.

SEAT's rally success should make this the driver's choice. Move over Gti - hail the Cupra!
Comfort
All controls well placed. Electric multi-adjustable leather seats were a good option.
