Seat Cordoba reviews
Pros: The paint and colours of this car are great the spoiler and design is a good look. It has good steering and brakes if maintained ie disc front drums back. It has poor fittings and is a noisy car as they spent little on panelling. The motor is poor take off but improves at cruising speed and is a typical VW engine , reliable and hard working. I think the suspension could be better. The air con is super cold and I like the steering its heavy but straight and responsive.
If you spent some love on the suspension and improving the handling, tyres rims change. Manuel clutch with turbo this would be a fun car to drive. The 1.8 has all the modern features without the BS. Its also a car built for smaller people which I am.
Cons: Suspension, brakes and lot so of knobs that need attending too!
