1997 Seat Cordoba S review from UK and Ireland
"Strong in most areas - especially value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition failed at 50,000 miles.
Brake pads needed replacing at 59,000 miles, again at 66,000 miles and finally at 70,000 miles.
Driver's window motor failed at 63,000 miles.
Air conditioning failed at 67,000 miles.
General comments?
Apart from a handful of electrical faults, the Cordoba was a very reliable car.
Its interior space and comfort were a bit disappointing for a Focus sized car.
1.6 engine gave brilliant performance and this was matched by an impressive chassis.
A bargain buy at £3,000 for a five year old family saloon.
Let it go for £1,000 three years later.
