SEAT Toledo (2005 - 2008) 2.0 TDi Sport Special Edition 5d DSG (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Don't know but I know I get a VW engineering at a lot less than a VW/Audi. I think these a quite rare as well so it might mean that I dare to be different and not follow the herd??

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

When I tell them what I paid they think I got a bargain. Should be able to sell it to one of them when we have finished with it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would but they have discontinued the model. Might get and Altea XL as that seems like the replacement but I actually like the shape of the Toledo.

What are you likely to buy next?

Altea XL probably.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

May 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Compared to what the guy I purchased from paid for it I think I got a great deal especially with mileage and being a special edition with all extras. Had to look around for a while though

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had previously leased a Toledo for two years and thought it was great under rated car. Needed diesel with auto box and a boot that could take lots of kids things. Managed to get special edition that had leather, blue tooth, parking sensors, body kit/alloys, heated seats + more. Cannot recommend this car enough!

What was the dealer like?

seller needed a bigger car so took a bit of a loss on the car but I guess I was in the right place at the right time

What's it like to drive?

Smooth gear change for auto and fast if needed. I recommended an Altea to friend following our experience with the Toledo and that has a softer ride (probably due to the smaller wheels and sports suspension)

What's it like to park?

East with the parking sensors

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing major. My only gripe is the special edition alloy wheels which have corroded and the dealer said they could not be replaced under warranty which is a shame as they don't look nice. The blue tooth stopped recognising my phone and the dealer changed a fuse free of charge to good experience so far.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is huge. when you fold the seats down it is massive. It also has a hidden boot underneath the main boot which is useful for hiding your laptop or other valuables. The parking sensors are also useful as is the blue tooth which is steering wheel controlled and shows up name of the person calling on near the rev counter

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The heated seats and blue tooth. the leather is also easy to keep clean and very comfortable.
