What do you think of the SEAT Toledo?
I am thinking of upgrading my car. I'm edging towards a 1.6 Seat Toledo, diesel 2012/13. I've heard very mixed reviews from excellent to terrible but most owners were very positive. What's the expert opinion?
Our answer:
Hi Cathal,
It makes more sense as a second hand car than a new one. Good points: very spacious inside for rear passengers and the boot is massive; that 1.6 TDI engine is economical and cheap to tax; not a bad level of standard equipment. Bad points: it's quite unrefined and the engine is loud.
Coincidentally, I revisited the Toledo a few weeks ago. You can read my thoughts on it here.
