If you like your cars to be sensible without being boring, this SEAT Arona gets the balance exactly right. Finished in white with a contrasting bi-colour roof, it has the sort of clean, modern look that still feels fresh years later, helped by 17-inch alloys and subtle chrome detailing that lift it just enough above the ordinary. The 1.0 TSI petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox is light, responsive and reassuringly economical, making it perfectly suited to everyday driving without ever feeling underpowered. Comfort suspension and speed-sensitive steering give it an easy, confidence-inspiring feel on the road, while cruise control takes the effort out of longer journeys. Inside, the Arona is refreshingly straightforward in the best possible way. Air conditioning, Bluetooth audio streaming, DAB radio and the Connectivity Pack Plus mean everything you actually use is right where you expect it. The leather steering wheel and gear knob, ambient lighting and chrome interior touches add a welcome sense of quality, while height-adjustable seats and steering wheel make it simple to find a comfortable driving position. Practical touches like the double boot floor, split-folding rear seats, roof rails and rear parking sensors make daily life easier, whether you’re loading up shopping or heading off for a weekend away. Safety is equally well covered with Front Assist, hill hold control, multiple airbags, ISOFIX points and tiredness recognition all working quietly in the background. With two owners and a sensible mileage for its age, this is a car that feels honest, dependable and pleasingly free of unnecessary complication.
