1999 T - Seat Toledo 1.9Tdi S

Advantages: Speed, Comfort, Reliaility, Quality, Economy, Features, Looks
Disadvantages: Door seals sometimes need replacing

...I bought my Toledo TDi back in early 2004, it had 38k miles on the clock and was in very good condition. This is her story..... From the moment I set eyes on her I was impressed, sleek, curvacious and to some extent, sporty looking were my first impressions. I'd never taken any notice of seats before then apart from the Ibiza I learned to drive in so I'd not really looked at buying one. I saw her for sale at a local garage and thought i'd take a closer look. My partner at the time and I were expecting our first child, at the time I was driving a Rover 220SD and although it had 5 doors, it wasn't the roomiest car I'd been in. So, I climbed in and instantly it struck me. Everything was laid out where you would expect, no silly dials in the centre of the dashboard, no funny looking buttons that had no purpose. This was...

Review of SEAT Toledo 1.9 TDi

I Love my 2005 Toledo automatic TDi

Advantages: Fast, reliable, smart looking,
Disadvantages: Tyres/wheels are not the best at gripping the road, power outlet is not in a very good place

...History We have had our Toledo for 4 months now and upgraded from a 2Ltr petrol Ford Focus. The toledo exceeds all aspects of the focus in both looks, feel and performance. The Toledo is a solidly built car and very robust, you can see at a glance that the safety features are in abundance from the airbags allround to the solid reinforced pillars and high lefel doors. Reliability/speed We have found the Toledo to be exceptionally reliable and ready to go when we are. The Toledo is really fast and will get upto speed really fast. Accelaration is fast and makes you sit back as you press the pedal. Access to the interior The doors are a bit of a pain but this is also a safety feature. Once you start going the doors automatically lock and so if you stop and want to get out it is not as easy however, it does mean that if you...

Seat Toledo SE TDi

Advantages: Massive boot, excellent fuel economy
Disadvantages: Slightly cramped rear cabin, poor opening to boot

...This is by far the best car I have ever owned. With two young children I had to ditch the coupe's I had previously owned and buy something sensible. Worse still, something economic too! The Toledo is fantastic, fuel economy is brilliant - on an 800 mile trip to Ireland and back fully laden with 4 adults and 1 child and all their luggage the Toledo averaged 58mpg (we weren't hanging about either). The car is loaded with kit that costs an arm and a leg elsewhere - side airbags, cruise control, alloy wheels, trip computer, 6 disc CD changer, height / reach adjustable steering - the list goes on and on! The boot is massive although the opening could do with being a bit wider as I sometimes find it difficult to load our pram. Performance is good although I think Seat should bring the 150 BHP engine available...

Review of SEAT Toledo 1.9 TDi

Seat Toledo 1.9 Tdi SE -

Advantages: Economy in Fuel, Insurance and Servicing, while giving executive car feel.
Disadvantages: Many people still regard SEAT marque with some skepticism.

...Having previously owned a new Freelander from Land Rover, and been totally disgusted with just about everything on that vehicle... (it was never out of the workshop being repaired under the warranty)... I thought I would opt for a saloon car once again, and was impressed by the reviews I read about the Toledo. Obviously with the price differential, I could afford a little luxury, so I ordered my car with just about every extra I could have - from leather seats, to sat-nav and so on. Price came in at £17500 with all this, over £4k less than the freelander. Car was purchased in September 2002. Now nearly three years on, and I can report that this honestly is about the best car I have ever had! It returns over 50 mpg, it is comfortable with the electronically adjustable leather seats and the sat-nav is so good, it's a feature I...

Review of SEAT Toledo 1.9 TDi

Toledo, history preserved, hill top heritage

Advantages: Historic, beautiful scenery, feel good place
Disadvantages: None

...A visit to Toledo is memorable for so many different reasons. Other visitors' reactions are most likely similar to mine - so much history, beautiful to walk through while experiencing how preservation of religion has affected architecture in this magnificent Spanish National Monument. One day recently I joined thousands of other tourists to stroll through the narrow, steep, cobbled streets to glimpse just a little taste of how Toldeo has evolved since it was Spain's capital from Gothic days to 1560. From the minute I sighted the main gate - Peurta de Bisgra, a ninth century creation - I knew this visit was going to be all it was promised to be by a dear friend who had been there six years earlier and advised, quite rightly, that it was a must when visiting Madrid, 71 kilometres away. The focus of my visit was to be...

Rangemaster toledo 110 cooker

Advantages: Looks really smart and efficient
Disadvantages: None that spring to mind

...We bought a rangemaster toledo 110 cooker for our new kitchen earlier this year. We decided on the colour of silver rather than stainless steal as this is easier to clean and wipe. The double oven is brilliant and practical. One is fan assisted so is really fast the other is just conventional. They are both large and can easily cook Christmas dinner for a family of 14. Both have large windows on the doors which is brilliant for checking on foods. Built in oven lights too. It also has a separate built in grill. If you need to grill something small you just switch on half the grill - how cool is that? The built in hob on top is lovely. We have electric so naturally have a ceramic hob. This too is easy to clean. There are 6 halogen rings. Two of which you can half on or full on. Beware of scratches though on the g;ass hob. All in all...

Review of Rangemaster Toledo 110 DF 64510

Toledo, the nearest thing to time-travel

Advantages: Important cultural and historical centre
Disadvantages: Can be busy in the tourist season

...Toledo is ideally located for a day-trip for anyone taking a short city-break in Madrid. After a day or two in the busy-ness of Madrid city centre it is refreshing to go to somewhere so very different, a walled ancient city set in typical Spanish landscape. But take your camera and more film than you’d expect to have to take for as you round every corner there’ll be something that just demand a photograph! Toledo, is set on a large rocky mound among rather flat, dry countryside. Its medieval buildings tower up over the surrounding landscape and as you get close to the city you can see that it is a walled town, with fortifications surrounding the many towers and spires of its ancient buildings. Visitors arriving on the train, have a short walk from the station and as you round the first bend in the road, you are...

Russell Hobbs Toledo Kettle

Advantages: 3KW Rapid boiling system, soft touch rubber grip, stylish/modern
Disadvantages: RRP £30 a bit pricey

...What can i say for this product? Well for a start i can say it has a fantastic modern and sleek look, definitley unique in its design with its aluminium casing and soft touch rubber grip handle in silver. This is an item that would suit most kitchens out there today. I bought this toledo kettle for my mum for just £14.75p off bid-up.tv what a bargin considering the brand Russell Hobbs, a brand that anyone can trust that delivers quality and reliablility. This unique kettle is also cordless so ur not limited to were you can bring it once it has used its rapid boiing system. To add to all that the Toledo kettle has nice blue neon power light at the bottom and a 360 degress swivel base for added simplicity.

Review of Russell Hobbs 14092 Toledo

Toledo but not quite a tornado

Advantages: Heaps of room, a bit different
Disadvantages: Not quite as sporty as it could have been; some might not like its looks

...We have always liked the Seat Altea, and having visited a local dealer we decided that we preferred the Toledo due to the extra boot space - basically the Toledo is identical in every way to the Altea, but with an extended boot. We went for a 12 month old 2.0Fsi model, with 9000 miles on the clock, for £10,500 (bargain). The back-end of the Toledo might not be to everyone's taste due to the way the boot juts out, but the rest of the car is very good looking, especially the front. The car is very high so there is loads of vertical space inside - I'm 6'6" and still have a few inches above my head, which scrapes the ceiling of most cars. This is NOT an MPV but some places have been quoted as calling it a "mini MPV". The Toledo is built on the same chassis and engine as the Audi A3 and Golf "plus", so reliability isn't a worry. As...

Review of SEAT Toledo 2.0

Comfortable car with good fuel economy

Advantages: Tons of extras, competitive price
Disadvantages: tight boot opening,

...Your opininon on a car usually depends upon what you have previoulsy owned. I have always had smaller, lmuch less equipped cars, with smaller and weaker engines, etc. So for me, the Toledo is a quantum leap. I have the 110 h.p. 1.9TDi Toledo Signo Business. The car has most of those extras I never thought I would have. Adjustable height front seats, adjustable steering wheel, front and side airbags, front and back seat arm supports, electronic airconditioning, front and rear fog lights, CD player with 8 loudspeakers, electric windows (all managable from driver's seat), etc. As I bought a special "limited edition", mine even has motorized sunroof and cruise control. Good package at a reasonable (does not mean cheap) price in its category. I bought the car on a Monday morning, and the same day I was on the road towards Spain...
