Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No issues, but injectors were changed by Seat as part of a recall. The fuel pump cam follower should be checked and replaced when worn. Easy to change, but isn't covered as part of a service.
What's most practical about your car?
Good sized boot, plenty of room for passengers. Be warned though, you won't get anywhere near the economy figures - average 27mpg.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Turbo, big brakes, bi-xenon headlights.
