1.2 TSI I TECH 5d
SEAT 2017 Toledo

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Lot of car for the money, loads of boot space , interior space for passengers , for the same price as a fiat tipo / you can get one of these, it drives more sprightly than the focus and has loads more room and is a lot cheaper. VW bomb proof technology, built into the cars components. I have previously been in the motor trade for 20 years owning my own garages, sales outlet and body shop - never seen a car so overlooked as this and the skoda rapid. Excellent family car - just bought my daughter one as well because she can put the push chair and all the kids stuff in the boot safetly out of the way instead of having the car passenger space full of loose objects. she had a peugeot 208 allure 1.4 previously and she said this is much quicker and has loads more room. The extras on her SE nav model make the car a nice spec, bluetooth hands free always a bonus with kids in the car distracting you. I leave you with this though.The Seat Leon won car of the year -JD Power survey for reliability safety etc - the toledo doesnt get a mention because theres so few of them sold ! - yet it has the same engines and gearboxes running gear etc as the TSI Leons, BUT WITH LOADS MORE ROOM. Personally the car reviews given by the motoring media, are saying "plasticky Dash" "uninspiring" what does that exactly mean? I dont spend all day looking at the dash do you ? The driving position is perfect - nice seats slick gearbox , very perky engine in the 1.2 105 TSI..whats not to like at the massive discount you can get them for ??

How reliable do you find the car?

Ran VCDS on car before buying no previous faults stored and non in the last few weeks

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

if you listen to the moroing press you would never buy one, I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was to drive, albeit the road noise was a bit loud on the low profiles - I HAD A BOOMING NOISE WHICH I SORTED OUT BY ADJUSTING THE BUMP STOPS ON TAILGATE - CAR IS MUCH MUCH QUIETER NOW
