SEAT Toledo (2005 - 2008) 1.9 TDi Stylance 5d (2008/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

"Family man, must be his wife's car........ Wait, it's actually yours!?"

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

Not much. It's quite annonymous.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, time to go for something a lot more comfortable for long distances.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ford Mondeo 2.0 Diesel

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was all handled by the company, so I cannot say. Tax wise it's fine though.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Best specification car offered on the company car list.

What was the dealer like?

I've never had to deal with a dealer. Thankyou hire company!

What's it like to drive?

Quite comfortable, the seats are not quite good enough for regular long distance driving. (82,000 miles in 3 years has left me with a slightly sore back) but for general use it's fine. It's not sporty but reasonably responsive and never struggles.

What's it like to park?

You do need the parking sensors, the large boot is a little tricky to judge as is the front of the car (you can't see the bonnet from behind the wheel) but it's not bad.

Have you had any problems with the car?

A tyre sensor has been going haywire for the last two years but nothing else.

What's most practical about your car?

It has a massive boot, the false floor in the boot area is extremely useful.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The anti glare rear view mirror is absolutely brilliant for night driving.
