2003 Seat Cordoba SDI Stella 1.9 SDI from Slovenia
Summary:
Bad quality but excellent driving performance
Faults:
The hand brake handle almost fell apart. I've fixed it myself by pressing on a small tooth beneath the handle.
The ignition latch wasn't working properly. I had to turn/press a bit harder to get the motor started. Fixed under guarantee.
Remote unlocking was failing constantly, I thought that the battery was low, but there was something wrong with the computer. Fixed Under warranty.
Front left door was leaking, fixed under warranty.
Front left joint had to be replaced after 60000 km (37282 miles). Cost 350$
The transmission has a joint clearance at 90000 km (55 923 miles). Haven't fixed it yet.
General Comments:
I liked my old car Suzuki Baleno better.
The performance of the SDI engine is great though.
Steering wheel is a bit hard, but OK.
Cars scalability is great, there was a point where I thought I was going to fall out of a curve, but the Cordoba did excellent, she pulled me right out.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
