    Very cheap second-hand for equipment level.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Get the part number from Seat, then buy the bits at VW as it can be up to 50% cheaper.

    I find it has good handling and has always gone where I pointed it.

    Can put boy racers in their place if neccessary.

    When you say you have a Seat Toledo, people look puzzled, but when they see it they generally think it's a nice looking car.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    5' 11" and my head is close to the roof (metal sunroof cars like this one have less headroom). Driver's seat feels a bit short at the back.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I bought both mine as stolen recovered.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Local dealer has been quite helpful at times regarding parts and advice. Not so good when I asked about doing part-exchange with my car and trying to tell me that a car that rattled on start up was just because it had been standing for a while.
