    Excellent, gave me a good deal on my Golf trade In and ensured the SEAT was as new for me to take away.

    Excellent, gets easier and easier every time. Holds the road excellently. A cruise one minute, the next second, the 170bhp bursts into life when wanted.

    Easy, sensors on the rear, although a bit cautious, saves for any bumps. Light sterring helps too.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing, it does put a smile on my face every time I walk to it to enter the joy of driving it.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Press the key, it unlocks, unlike my Golf that had to go through a double unlock to open the passenger door. Get in and out of the parking space due to having the assistance of the sensors the night before when parking.

    Steering Wheel controls for radio, flipping through the various mileage, fuel consumption, journey time stuff.
