    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bough for £5,000. now offer £550 trade in. It's still worth at least £2,000 to me.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    because of reliability very fair, although I would advise AA or RAC check when buying, as I missed a couple of oil leaks and the poor condition of the exhaust.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fast cruiser and feels like a much smaller car around town. Ride caught out by ridges and potholes - just no suspension there!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very enjoyable. Pulls well in fifth gear, so I rarely used forth.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Continues to exceed expectations.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I have not come across the same model in this country, so it is unique for me, but little a known gem.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ride at slower speeds is poor except on good roads, but this is typical of Seat.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not to modern standards.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Helpful, but don't use main dealer for servicing because of extra hourly rate - just unnecessary.

    Problems

    Engine

    None so far.

    Remarkably reliable for a "hot family hatch", better then Volkswagen upon which it is based?
