1996 Seat Cordoba CS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loose bolt on part of the drivers seat when new. Broken front panel of Radio (not sure if it was our fault or bad design).
General comments?
Incredible performance considering the size engine/car (1.4 VW engine in sml/med saloon). Loads and loads of boot space.
Cheap to buy (esp. 2nd hand). Fuel economy about 45mpg on long journey. Base model lacks certain refinements (central locking should have been included, but was only available on the 1.6 model when the car was bought).
