SEAT Toledo Review

SEAT Toledo
How It Looks - Interior
The interior design is just as striking as the exterior. The cabin is functional and uncluttered with chunky and tactile switchgear perfect for family use. The instrument dials, air vents, dashboard console and gear shift trim have modern aluminium effect surrounds.
In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation
The SEAT Toledo 2.0 TDI Sport is equipped with an integral single slot CD player/FM AM radio with 8 speakers & steering wheel controls. This system was very easy to operate on the move and the sound quality was good.
Our test car was equipped with the optional Satellite Navigation System (full colour inc bluetooth pack). We found this system slow to update compared to other systems we have used recently and lacks post code navigation. The system only covered the UK & Ireland not Europe.
Another annoying factor was that as the Sport model is only specified with a single slot CD player as standard. To listen to a CD and use the Navigation system means that you would have to specify the optional 6 disc CD changer.
