Introduction
Graduating From The Non-Frumpy School Of Mini-MPV Design, SEAT's Altea Will Apeal To Style Conscious Buyers.

Will It Suit Me?
As much as I love the more practical aspects of most mini-MPV style cars, I just can't seem to get past the dull styling. You either get lumbered with something that looks like a tin loaf or a car that has been designed with a setsquare. The one car that did really appeal to me - Fiat's Multipla - has been emasculated of late so there's not a great deal that generates much excitement. That was until SEAT's Altea came along. SEAT prefer to call the Altea a Multi Sports Vehicle but don't let the marketing weenies pull the wool over your eyes. Here's a car with Ford's Focus C-MAX and Honda's FR-V fairly and squarely in its sights. With its unconventional styling and squat stance, the Altea is a long way removed from the apologetic dullards that cluster at the school gates. Instead it looks acceptably sporty. Finished in red it really looks the part and I was quite looking forward to putting it through its paces. The latest models can be spotted by their reshaped headlights and revised grille with a smaller SEAT badge.
