SEAT Altea Freetrack 4 (2007 - 2009) 2.0 TDi 5d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not something that I have thought about.

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

One or two good comments, none unfavourable.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely not. I shall never buy another VAG car on account of the number of electronic failures.

What are you likely to buy next?

I don't know. All the 4X4's that I am prepared to afford have relatively poor performance.

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?

July 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. The car was a low mileage demonstrator.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I need a car to tow my competition car on a trailer.

What was the dealer like?

Reasonable to deal with. Gave me a fair price for my old car & was willing to include several good extras in the deal.

What's it like to drive?

Good performance & tows well. It is comfortable. By the nature of the car it rolls a bit when pushed but is not unstable.

What's it like to park?

Poor rear visibility makes the standard reversing beeper a necessity. It works well.

Have you had any problems with the car?

NUMEROUS electronic failures.

What's most practical about your car?

Very good at towing on wet slippery grass etc.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control.
