Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits

A proper Top Gear hero. Seriously over-delivers on the underpromising price..

Pros
Cheap,
but also value.
Looks good.
Is very capable

Cons
Lacks safety kit; so slow that this might not actually matter

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Very cheap to buy
Roomy cabin
Efficient engines

Cons
Feels pretty basic inside
Doesn't handle all that well
Disappointing safety score
