1998 Seat Cordoba SXE review from North America
"One of the best built cars ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wiper failure.
Door locking mechanism/key-less entry.
Power steering line.
ABS sensor.
General comments?
What a fantastic car! I love it. I had to import this car from Koln Germany, And was worth every penny.
I love the feel of the car, it is very well built. The car feels very much like a MK3 Golf/Jetta. The fuel economy is better than anything we import to the US currently.
I think the interior is very comfortable. The seats in my Cordoba are better than in my '99 C230 MB. Also the car has a very good towing capacity.
Headlights are great.
Note you must be careful on launches not to spin the tires.
