1999 Seat Cordoba SX review from UK and Ireland
"A true performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a lot, just had to replace the brake discs & pads and exhaust. The car is only 5 years old so it was about due.
General comments?
Honestly, this car is a true bargain. I paid 3000 pounds for a 2000 (W reg) small coupe with half leather, air-con, alloys & a 2.0 16v engine - you compare that to the 2000 (W reg) golf gti my friend bought without the leather, otherwise same spec for 7500 pounds.
The car is fabulous, it wakes up at 3000 rpm, and I can honestly say it holds it's own on the motorway. I have personally destroyed the following motors on the standing/rolling start in a 'race', in standard guise:
Audi TT (probably not a quattro)
Ford Puma
Golf GTI
Escort GTI.
Don't keep reading this - go and buy one...now!
