| | Seat Cordoba (03-) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | SEAT's Ibiza supermini is particularly popular amongst young drivers for its aggressive looks and larger-than-life character, but its booted counterpart, the Cordoba, is a lot more conservative, shy and retiring (SEAT calls it 'more formal and elegant'). |
 | | This is a common problem when creating small two- or four-doors: Nova saloon or Ford Orion, anyone? But like the new Ibiza (and Polo, and Fabia) the Cordoba is longer, wider and taller than the model it replaces, with improved comfort, driving dynamics and refinement, plus a new range of engines. |
 | | In the UK, it comes with the stock VW Group 1.4-litre 75 bhp petrol engine or the 1.9 TDI 100 bhp and 130 bhp diesels, the latter in conjunction with a six-speed manual gearbox. |
