Seat Cordoba: Nice Little Car

AngelPina · November 5th, 2008, 03:34 PM

Hi guys, I want you to meet my car:

It's a 2005 SEAT Cordoba.

I love this car. =)

I apologize, the 3 first pictures were made with the mobile phone.

1.- Here is brand new:

2.- I wanted to change that front grill:

3.- This is the result:

-Good quality photos starts here-

4.- Just 1 little sticker on both sides of the car:

5.- Another angle:

6.- A nice one:

7.- I like this one:

8.- It use to be all black interior, but I painted the air diffusors in silver:

9.- Also changed the gear lever:

10.- Circle shapes painted in red:

11.- Another interior view:

12.- Front:

13.- At night:

14.- Tachometer:

15.- Engine, the old, but reliable 2.0L and 115hp's VW engine:

16.- Rims (16"), not so big, but enough for this car:

Hope you like it! Feel free to comment.

Looks pretty nice. I like Seats. The new front lower grille helps a lot.

does it have soft Corinthian leather?

AngelPina · November 5th, 2008, 07:03 PM

This have not leather seats. Only the steering wheel, gear lever and the handbreak.

That was my first thought as well. Which models do you get?

AngelPina · November 6th, 2008, 12:24 AM

Well, around 2000 SEAT started selling it's cars in Mexico.

The model rage is:

-Ibiza / FR / Cupra /
-Cordoba
-Leon / FR / Cupra /
-Toledo
-Alahmbra
-Altea
-And the all new Freetrack (a crossover)

The feel in the 2.0 engine is good. It can take you from 0-100km/h (0-60mph) a bit quick, but it is not "brutal". It is designed to be a city car, but also feels a bit quicker on highways. It can go up to 200km/h (around 118mph) without hesitating.

I can't give number because i never tried to set a best time.

It's fun to drive, I really like it.

I'm surprised that you get the whole model range, let's see if there will be Exeo's in Mexico in the near future as well!

No wonder I've seen a couple of random Seat's around here. First time I saw one, I did a double take images/smilies/lol.gif

I really don't know of another Mexican member on finalgear? Hows it like down there these days? Its been sooo long since I've been down there. Beautiful, beautiful country.

AngelPina · November 7th, 2008, 01:26 AM

Maybe I´m the only mexican around here. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Indeed Mexico it's a beautiful country, everything here is fine now. At least for me. I like this weather.

I have been in the US 5 times visiting so many places. images/smilies/driving.gif

In fact, a couple of years ago (when the car was brand new) my family and I went driving from Mexico city to Orlando in Florida!!! Yeah, thats a looong trip in car. images/smilies/shock.gif

Near Laredo in Texas, they stopped me for speeding. images/smilies/cop_light.gif

When I went to Mexico (as far south as Mexico City mind you) we DROVE from Wiscasset MAINE alll the way. It was some trip, I'll tell you that.

(we were stopped outside of Mexico city for having the wrong plate for the day, fined $200 cash right there, then escorted outside of the city, then later we were searched by the federales! Good times images/smilies/biggrin.gif

)

AngelPina · November 7th, 2008, 03:37 PM

There's nothing like a long trip to have some adventure, fun and cop chases. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Speaking of double takes I saw Peugeot 206 a few months ago. I had to blink a few times, then I realized it had Mexican plates. images/smilies/biggrin.gif
