Seat car reviews

Seat began life as a manufacturer of badge-engineered Fiats in Spain. It struck out on its own in 1982, only to become a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group in 1986. Since then, VW has groomed it as the sporty, youthful brand in its portfolio, with a string of sharply styled models such as the Ibiza and Leon, which share many parts with their VW equivalents, the Polo and Golf. You could view Seat as a kind of Spanish Alfa Romeo. 

Seat sits below VW in price terms but above Skoda, another VW subsidiary. In customer satisfaction, however, it's below both.
