SEAT Toledo 2.0 16V 5d (1996/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
I got the car for a snip at £850, its a 96N with half leather, metallic paint, all elec/windows, FFSR, Central Locking and airbag, with VAG reliability this is what I call value for money!!
Costs
From the consumables I've had to buy so far, prices seem fair!

Driving
The Toledo is surprisingly nimble, although my model rolls a little through the bends (this is down to wear) - I was surprised how well it handles to what seems on the outset to be a big car!
Performance
The engine is a gem, quite punchy when revved. 150bhp is more than enough to entertain should you require it.

Reliability
No problems to report.
Image
I wouldn't say the Toledo is the most attractive of cars, but the 2.0 16v is finished off well. Colour coded bumpers, 15"" alloys, boot spoiler, and finished off in deep metallic purple it does have a distinct sporty look to it - and I quite like it!
Comfort
This is the sporty version, so ride is a little firm, but the seats are excellent and are very comfy!
