In their own words

I bought this car on the strength of my previous SEAT Ibiza which I liked very much. The Arona is such a disappointment. It is like an inverted Tardis, large on the outside and small on the inside. The boot much smaller the my previous Seat Ibiza even with the boot floor shelf at its lowest position. The engine can be noisy at some revs when an unpleasant vibration goes through the car. After 6 months an oil leak developed from the engine which the garage fixed, but has occurred again after a few weeks. It is easy to inadvertently alter the controls on the steering wheel which is distracting so much so it has been dangerous. I have tried to like the car but the more I drive it the more I dislike it.

How reliable do you find the car?
