    5 Stars Seat's Cruiserweight 06/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Car like performance and handling, value for money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Seat Dealer Servicing Quality and Warranty Back-up.

    I bought my Seat Alhambra 110bhp 1.9 TDI S in Nov '99. The deal I got on this car was very good. A great Seat Finance deal of 4.7% APR meant only £1060 interest on £16000 borrowed over 3 years. Coupled with an extra £1100 trade-in allowance for my Mondeo if I bought the actual car in the showroom. It was the exact spec and colour I wanted, although in this situation you must always say that the colour is the one you hate so as to put the salesman under further pressure. However, protracted haggling and playing one dealer off against another further enhanced the deal with discount on alloy ... more

    4 Stars Another wild idea from Mrs D 07/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Powerful, quick and flexible

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit of a tank

    I’ve written previously here about Mrs D’s preoccupation with cars, and, more particularly, her deep-seated desire and need to buy new ones. I've refrained from writing about her latest escapade for almost six months now, but I can hold back no longer. It is getting on for almost half a year now since she had her latest brainwave and decided that the Honda CRV which he had only 18 months previously was really not for her and she desperately needed a new car. Of course, it went a little bit deeper than that. Some time before she had been in a little bump with another vehicle. It is a long story ... more

    5 Stars Seat Alhambra 2006 1.9TDi Auto Stylance 115bhp 13/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages does the job, no airs and graces.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages needs a six banger oiler under the hood.

    I ran a 1.9 Alhambra as a company jallopy back in 2001 whilst living and working in the Netherlands. Initially after coming from the company Merc I was a little apprehensive to change up to what looked like quite a boring car, how wrong I was. My work necessitated a little more interior space for camera and photographic equipment which I frequently hauled all over Eastern Europe and in this Department the Alhambra excelled, of course i suffered with the failed air con condenser, something Seat now admit was a design flaw, but apart from that the Alhambra was a top performer. when I recently ... more

    5 Stars Great for families. 27/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fairly high spec on even oldest models

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Interior damages very easily, with children & load.

    We bought our R reg. Seat Alhambra in December 2000. It was a used car with a high mileage bought through the auctions. The high mileage was built up from long distance driving, not city driving, so that helped. The car was in very good condition and worked like a dream. It had been owened by a company befor and so had been well looked after. When expecting our 3rd child, our 1st being only 4 and a half, we deliberated long and hard about which car to buy, which would comfortablty take 3 child car seats. We soon discovered that our choices were limited and that only an MPV would do the job ... more

    5 Stars Owning an Alhambra 1.9TDi 115bhp 11/02/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very reliable and economical, good driving position and very easy to drive. All in all a very good buy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The only real disadvantage we have found has been the firmness of the seats.

    I purchased this car from new in October 2000. I wanted a good quality family vehicle that would be reliable. This was the most I had ever paid for a car but it has been well worth it and I would by another. I was attracted by the parts that came as standard on the model which were extras on all others we had looked at. It is a great handling car, much easier to park than I ever thought for its size and it looks good. I would recommend it to anyone. It is so versatile. Since buying the car we have taken it to Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy and never encountered a single problem ... more

    4 Stars Excellent car let down by dealer failures 29/04/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spacious, economical car ideal for a family or use as a samll van with 5 seats removed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dealer support variable

    Bought the car, originally my company car (new price £23,500) for £12,500 in September 2003. For the first two years it was excellent, reliable, spacious and very flexible with the ability to remove between one and five rear seats. As it was the 1.9Tdi PD SE version it has lots of extras such as a heated windscreen, heated front seats (which also turn round for picnics - not that I've ever used that!), comfortable captain's front seats, good quality 10 seater sound system and fuel economy up to 55mpg and low (176g) CO2 emissions. It's also happy towing and has excellent torque in lower gears ... more

    5 Stars bike carrier, furniture remover, engine collector. 23/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages reliable, economical, versitile

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not very kiddy wreck proof, heavy seats.

    We purchased this car in march 2005 for £8000 on and x reg, which was a good bargain, we purchased originally for the extra seating as we had a new member to the family which totalled six and when we had my partners son every other weekend we needed that extra seat. i did not realise then how much of a huge help this car would be, it makes every household and family task so much easier. The rear seats can easily be removed, though they are a little heavy and bulky to remove. I have had three bikes in the boot space with enough room to sit me the hubbie and 3 kids,the dog and the picnic, I have ... more

    4 Stars Seat Alhambra 1.9 TDi 130 bhp 03/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large seating capacity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages tyre wear

    I bought this car brand new in September 2004, since then I have driven 24000 miles in the car. The car has plenty of space to carry 7 people. The advantage for me is that I can take out all the rear seats and have a large area in the back for putting all my bits and bobs for the local builders yard for all my diy projects. The car runs at about 38 mpg across all different driving conditions. I have serviced the car at the prescribed intervals, the local service agent does a very good service and found a fault which they repaired free of charge. The warranty is 60000 miles or 3 years which ... more

    5 Stars Fantastic plastic 03/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It drives like a small car .

    Disadvantages Disadvantages After sales service is awful!

    We've had our 'little' car now for 3 years and it is absolutely great.All 4 kids fit in perfectly ( 'I want to sit in the back...' 'No! I want to.' 'There are only 2 seats in the back so you all need to take turns.') The only problem is where to put the luggage. So we got a roofbox . Now I don't fit into the underground carparks! At least I can park it better than our old Honda Accord. As to the plastic........it's almost all gone. Do you know all those little plastic covers inside (eg. over the tail-lights)? Well, those got lost on opening/closing the boot hatch years ago. The ones on the ... more
