Seat's current Toledo saloon is a top value, high quality alternative to the Audi A4, Skoda Octavia and VW Bora. It's an ex-fleet choice that appeals to buyers looking for both quality and enjoyable driving, but who don't want to spend too much.

A basic 1.6 S on 00X with 5000 miles is about £9000; a mid-range 99T 1.8 20V SE saloon with 24,000 miles is £9500. Efficient TDi turbodiesels can give 50mpg and start at £10,000 for a 00W 1.9 TDi S. Aporting choice is the 150 bhp V5 at £12,000 on 00X at a Seat dealer.
