1996 Seat Cordoba SE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger door window lifter replaced costing £108.
Petrol Flag central locking failed in the shut position, traced to the passenger door lock being defective costing £90.
The car is a great motorway car and the ride is great. Care must be taken when driving on bumpy country roads as the hard ride and wide tyres tend to make it twitchy. As the others say 'great stereo'.
General comments?
Hard motorway driving produces 35.6 mpg.
Normal motorway driving produces 40+ mpg.
If you are a Frugal Dougal you could get 51.6 mpg on a run. I have!
