SEAT Exeo Saloon (2009 - 2013) 2.0 CR SE Lux (170bhp) 4d (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I have more sense than money, hopefully.

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

The father in law loves it, so that must stand for something? Good feedback all round really.

Would you buy this car again and why?

If they made a Seat A5, yes.

What are you likely to buy next?

Considering an Insignia VXR, but it could be anything really.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£15,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I thought so, the car was an ex-demonstrator, with just 2500 miles.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I'm not interested in badges, so to get Audi engineering for a reduced price is fine by me.

What was the dealer like?

Not good, and I've had the pleasure of more than one. Disappointment is not something you should experience when committing to spending 15k. They take a lot of arguing with to get anywhere.

What's it like to drive?

Comfortable, but the ride is choppy as the suspension is firm, which can be annoying at times. Engine is very smooth and responsive, for a diesel. Wouldn't say it was quick though.

What's it like to park?

Easy, good turning circle and parking sensors make it simple. You do get used to them though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had a fault on the auto headlight adjustment, but this was covered by the warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a big car, with a large boot, although the legroom in the rear is rather poor especially given the size of the car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I've got most of the options on my car, and I fit an Audi sat-nav off ebay for £300.
