Featured SEAT Review: ‘A TRIP THROUGH TOLEDO’

(69/110)

Car and Driving’s Independent Used Review of the SEAT Toledo (2012 - 2019)

‘It’s all the car you need’. SEAT’s description of this fourth generation Toledo may well ring true for a large number of the older buyers and practically-minded family folk it’s aimed at. If you’re not part of that demographic and want something with a little more aesthetic and dynamic sparkle, then you may struggle to see the appeal. Even then though, it’s difficult to argue with the Spanish brand’s contention that this car delivers an awful lot for the money. It’s the kind of tough, practical car that Eastern European, Asian and African markets tend to opt for by the bucket-load - the sort of vehicle that pampered Western Europeans should probably take more seriously, offering as it does the space of something Mondeo-sized for a price not much greater than that of many superminis. Of course, this SEAT’s near-identical sister design from this era, Škoda’s Rapid, can claim exactly the same attributes. But model-for-model, it can be a few hundred pounds more expensive, which could make all the difference, particularly if you happen to like the way this Toledo model looks. Buyers will tend to be enthusiasts for life rather than for cars - people, you could argue who, like this car, have their priorities right where they need to be.
