SEAT Altea MPV (2004 – ) expert review
The SEAT Altea has been around a long time but it’s never caught on. It’s still worth a look though, as it’s solidly built, well equipped, good to drive and different.

Seat Ibiza FR car review
The Seat Ibiza FR could be the perfect all-rounder. It’s good-looking, fast and in diesel form it’s incredibly economical. It also fills a niche, as neither of its Skoda Fabia or Volkswagen Polo siblings are available with a performance diesel engine.

SEAT Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra hatchback (2009 – ) expert review
The SEAT Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra gets a dash more Spanish style with a black coloured nose. Its engine may be small, but the performance is mighty. However the lack of a manual gearbox limits appeal.

SEAT Exeo saloon (2009 – ) expert review
The SEAT Exeo is more than a reworking of the previous Audi A4. It’s a handsome, well-equipped saloon that offers a comfortable, enjoyable drive.
