Seat X-PERIENCE: car review | Martin Love

Some experiences are best forgotten, but driving Seat's rugged new 4x4 estate is not one of them

Price 25,495
MPG 58.9
Top speed 129mph

There are a few shameful episodes hiding in my motoring memory bank (the reckless speeding on country roads, the KFC family bucket emptied out of the window at 60mph, the middle finger to that old lady), but this was a real low-point. I'd been on the road all day lugging my daughter's stuff home from university (where did she get all this junk?) and was reversing into a tight spot outside our house. I noticed in my mirror that there was a bloke waiting behind me in a new Jag. He took exception to something, I'm still not sure what, and decided the best course of action was to pull alongside me and shout through my open window: "ARSEHOLE!"
