Living with it
Reliability
VAG coils replaced under warranty. Faulty petrol flap catch £50 replaced. Door seals failed and 2 inches of rainwater inside vehicle. Replaced under warranty but disappointing damp smell occasionally!
Image
A real wolf in sheeps clothing. A real turning point for the SEAT image. To look at it no-one would ever guess it's capabilities.
Comfort
Very solid and firm ride. Some understeer when cornering quickly.

Security and Service
Security
No problems so far - fingers crossed. Would have thought a better quality FF alarm for this type of car should be standard.
Service
Acceptable, but nothing to write home about.
