SEAT Exeo (2009 - )  
Home » Car by Car » SEAT » Exeo 2009

2.0 TDI surprisingly good to drive, very economical, exceptionally solid build, multitronic auto option from 2011.

Undistinguished looks, inside and out.

Introduction

Over the model life of the Audi A4 B6 and B7, what started out as an attractive, solidly built, yet sometimes unwieldy and hard riding car turned into quite a good one.

It was almost as if criticisms had been listened to and faults rectified as a result.

I particularly remember, having written off ‘S Line' models as internal organ re-arrangers, the last one I tried rode acceptably well. So I didn't necessarily think it a bad thing that VAG has shipped the production line down to Barcelona and given the car a second lease of life as the SEAT Exeo.
