“The Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE is a lovely car, looks good...”

★★★★★

written by paultyler on 20/03/2009

The Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE is a lovely car, looks good even 6 years on, drives great, powerful, comfortable, and lots of gadgest. Economy is superb! Bad points are rear door seals leak into footwell (common fault but easily fixed at no or little cost). Interior trim getting tired but holding together very well. This is a great car! Have decided to keep it for a few years more despite newer sexier looking Seat's around...

written by on 12/02/2009

Ive owned 2 toledos the 130bhp and 150bhp, must amit there isnt alot of difference in speed and acceleration, i would personally go for the 130bhp because it has slighty better mpg and the white dials look better, Not much wrong with the car except some rare times i get a bit of turbo lag when shifting fast but apart from that the car is perfect.
I will keep this car until it ceases to moves.

written by on 01/04/2008

Really nice car, I have previously owned Audi's and VW's and recently bought a used 2001 Toledo tdi110 Se with 77k on it, there's no rattles from anywhere, everything works and bar it not having a six speed box, auto wipers or a dimming rear view mirror I've been used to it's got everything I need and expect. The 110 is a bit wheezy but it depends on what you're used to, the 130 is much better but costs much more, I get an average of 50+mpg and do a fair mix of driving, seats are a bit dull in shape and pattern and I miss the flip out key from my previous Bora PD 130 Sport but if that's all I can complain about the car must be good! Go and buy one....

“Bought my Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE 2nd hand in March...”

★★★★★

written by graemewilliams on 15/04/2005

Bought my Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE 2nd hand in March 2004 with 11,000 on clock. It was registered March 2003 and is still (April 2005) immaculate. I have done 12,000 mainly city miles and the computer tells me that I have averaged 47 miles per gallon and I get 540 miles from one tank (@£40). I have previously owned loads of different Peugot and Citroen diesels, (205, 309, 405, Zsara, Xantia, etc) but the Seat Toledo TDi SE losses all of them in style, specifications, performance and comfort. This is effectively a VW Bora but with much better styling and at a better price. Apparently the Bora is built in Belgium whilst the Toledo is built in Germany!!! It seems that it is made up of the best bits of Audi A4, Audi TT and various VW models. I think it looks far better that the new model of Toledo but have not driven that. It is almost certainly the best car that I have ever owned in 33 years of car ownership. How foolish I was thinking that cruise control, in the UK, and a 6 CD changer were just useless gimmicks and that climate control is the same as air conditioning!!!

The only real down side is the size of the access into the boot. The boot itself is huge, but you realise the limitations as soon as you make your first visit to IKEA! Buy a roof rack and your problems are solved.

“I checked before buying that this Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi...”

★★★★☆

written by GarryF on 23/10/2004

I checked before buying that this Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE family car had a full sevice history. There were no scuffs to the alloy wheels - a sign that the last owner had treated it with care. The details of all work, like brakes and belts was all there in the handbook. This car had a better life as a fleet car than any private owner would have give it. A really great car with a VW pedigree. 55 to the gallon of diesel means that this car really pays for itself in 2 years on second hand prices.

After owning this car for a while I was amazed at the quality of a car that exceeded 100,000 miles. When my wifes car was needing replacing I had no hesitation in finding another Toledo. It has CD, Climate control, cruise and computer. All in working order. Over 100,000 miles and drives like a dream. Another bargain.

“Bought the Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE in Mar 02 when it...”

★★★★★

written by Corke on 22/02/2004

Bought the Seat Toledo 1.9 TDi SE in Mar 02 when it was six months old. I travel approx 28K miles per year, and the car is approaching 56K miles.

Silver in colour - looks good.

Economy has been truly excellent. My daily commute consists of cross-country and motorway miles - approx 140 miles round trip. Fuel economy typically 49-52 mpg. On a slow A-road journey, economy approaches 60 mpg.

Mid-range performance is good (typical of diesel engined cars) and is what you need in real world driving conditions.

Equipment levels are generous with a good quality stereo - essential for high mileage drivers. Comfort levels are also good and after a long journey I get out of the car relaxed and unfatigued.

The diesel engine is clearly not of the latest design and this shows with the traditional clatter at start-up and when idling. However, once on the move, the engine is reasonably hushed. I wonder what the PD version is like - particularly the new 150BHP version? That said, I am told that the TDi 110 engine is easier and cheaper to maintain as it gets old.

Rear leg room is a bit tight - not too much of a problem for a young family, but fitting adults in the back is a squeeze. Boot is enormous which has been a real bonus for holidays.

I have experienced a few problems with the car, all minor - mainly rattly trim. Service at Seat Amethyst has been excellent.

This car makes the VW Bora pointless!!

★★★★★

written by cattleman62 on 23/11/2003

My Seat Toledo TDiSE which I bought towards the end of 1999, still is one of the best looking cars on the road. It has a lovely leather steering wheel.
By far the best car I have ever driven. Highly recommended.
