“Excellent value for money. Great to drive plus good performance, matched with excellent fuel economy. Some build quality issues (SEAT Leons leak!) but not enough to put me off.”

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 19th)
Mid-table mediocrity – it's hardly what SEAT bosses had been hoping for. Last year, the firm slipped three places down the chart, but we were looking on the bright side, expecting a rise in 2007 following the arrival of a raft of new models. Instead the VW-owned marque has dropped another two rungs. With sub-standard ratings across the board, you are finding SEAT ownership a bit underwhelming.
