1998 Seat Cordoba SE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Volkswagen car for less than Volkswagen money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace one of the electric fans, as the bearing had gone on it. Which caused the car to vibrate when the fan was running.
The rubber cover on the door light sensor switch fell off.
There is a squeak coming from the dash around the speedo, and around the front doors.
General comments?
Happy with the car, apart from a few minor things.
Quite nippy for a 1.6 litre 8 valve car.
Huge boot, however there is not much leg room for anyone in the back.
Good paint finish and build quality.
