SEAT Toledo (2005 - 2008) 1.9 TDi Stylance 5d (2006/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hopefully that I know a good car when I see one. I've never kept a car for 8 years before and it just goes on and on!

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

All very happy.

Would you buy this car again and why?

This model is no longer made, but I would certainly be interested if it was.

What are you likely to buy next?

SEAT Altea XL (in the hope that it will be as good as the Toledo has been).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

August 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought the car from an internet website.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Liked the higher floor level, large boot and the performance of the VW diesel engine.

What was the dealer like?

Couldn't have been more helpful. Negotiated a reasonable trade in for my old car and even arranged the transfer of my private reg plate.

What's it like to drive?

The VW 1.9 diesel engine is famed for its reliability. Mine has been no exception, accelerates like a train, cruises all day at speeds that are not strictly legal and only uses a pint of oil between each 12,000 mile service.

What's it like to park?

Fairly easy once you've got the hang of where the corners are!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing very serious after 154,000 miles. The care has been ultra reliable, never either let me down or given me a moments doubt.

What's most practical about your car?

Enormous boot and plenty of interior space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control.
