SEAT has added a new performance model to its Toledo range – the aptly named Toledo Sport.
The same 1.8 litre 180 PS 20V turbo-charged engine and 6-speed gearbox used in the Leon Cupra are used in the Toledo. Standard gizmos include ABS (anti-lock braking), EDS (electronic differential system), TCS (traction control), ESP (electronic stability programme) and EBA (emergency brake assistance).
SEAT's enthusiasm ran out when it came to exterior styling, with the rest of the budget blown on some new office furniture, the styling team made do with 7x16" alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers and leaving early for the pub.
The new Toledo Sport is priced at £15000 on the road and is covered by a 3-year/60,000 mile mechanical warranty, a 12-year anti-perforation body warranty and a 5-year roadside assistance package through SEAT Assistance.
