Overall I'm very pleased with the car considering it only has a 1 litre engine capacity. My only dislike is that the SatNav is rubbish. It's better pairing my mobile with the car and using the SatNav on my phone. It would be nice for the car to let me know what pressure I have in each tyre like my old lease car use to.

Great car for normal everyday use and comfortable on long runs and motorways. My only grouch is the electrics, sometimes the clock on the infotainment comes on and sometimes it doesn’t which is a minor snag but irritating.

The biggest flaw for me is the ride, you feel and hear every imperfection of the road surface.

Good runabout, but OK for longer trips. Economical, use load. Easy to park.

We have previously had an Arona which gave us no problems and which we enjoyed driving. Unfortunately, the latest Arona had serious issues which had to be referred back to Seat. The issue was that the car would suddenly stop and would not start again. We were fortunate not to be on a motorway. This happened three times. The first time we called the AA who said that the car was dangerous and needed to go to Volkswagen to be assessed. Volkswagen had the car for 10 days and returned it saying they had repaired it. A few weeks later the same thing happened. Again we called the AA and the car was returned to Volkswagen. After testing the car they finally found that there was a problem with the electronics and had to replace the ‘motherboard’. Since the car was under warranty, Seat Finances had to handle the full cost of repairs. The car now is running smoothly and trust that all issues have been addressed.

It is economical, practical and pleasant to drive; I have had 2 long journeys to the North East of Scotland and I am constantly surprised, by the power and effortless drive the vehicle is, for a 1.0 engine!
