I hate my capture. Cant wait to change it. Brand new, leased always something wrong with it

I have had two Seat's and both been good. We would have got the Ateca but the monthly payment was a bit much.

Had a seat Arona for 4 years. Fab car, boot could be bigger but no major complaints.

I don't think you can beat German cars, better made, I try to look for a different brand myself

The boot in the Seat is tiny!!

Oh no! @Maddy70 What is wrong with it?
Took one for a test drive last week and it seemed OK?

Oh, I love my Renault Captur 😆

I'd go with the Arona every time. My mum has a FR DSG & it's quite quick & comfortable with a decent boot. All VW under the bonnet, no reliability issues. The model you're looking at is top of the range & for me personally I'd rather have a German than a french car. More than likely to hold its value better.

I like the seat as it doesn’t feel too big but worried about boot when going on holiday etc boot seems smaller than captur

1 year old. No idea what spec lol Not a hybrid its petrol. Ots never out of the garage

As a generalisation I’d always pick a seat over a Renault. If the boot feels a little small could you get a roof box for if you’re going away etc?
