seat cordoba

The Cordoba is based on the Seat Ibiza, which in turn shares its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Polo. With the Cordoba, though, you get a big boot instead of that rear hatch. True, it may lack the five-door practicality of the Ibiza, but the boot capacity is almost twice as large. Rear passengers have limited leg- and headroom, but front occupants are well catered for. A steering wheel that adjusts for rake and reach, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat mean that most people can get a good driving position. Some of the plastics look a little on the cheap side, yet the cabin is not a bad place to be.

It's not a bad car to drive, either, cornering neatly and tidily thanks to responsive steering and good body control. However, it would be better still if the steering had a little more feel to it, and the suspension was softer to improve the low-speed ride.
