Living with it
Reliability
Overshadowed by exhaust and fuel problems, but otherwise very reasonable.
Image
Poor, except amongst those in the know.
Comfort
Not bad, but seats could be more supportive. Ride poor over bumps and potholes in urban areas. Better at speed.
-
Security and Service
Security
Not up to modern standards. Stolen after five years.
Service
Seat were not interested in problems early on with fuels leaks (caused by blocked injectors), or exhaust fitting problems. Dealer was excellent and very helpful.
