2019 SEAT Arona 1.0 TSI SE Euro 6 (s/s) 5dr Hatchback Petrol Manual

Description

So, I’ve been driving this SEAT Arona for a few years now and honestly, it’s one of those cars that just gets better with time. It’s a 2019 model, 1.0 TSI petrol, manual gearbox, and it’s got that sleek midnight black finish with 17-inch dynamic alloy wheels — I like how it looks, especially parked up in the village.

Inside, it’s not flashy but it’s clean and comfortable. The cloth interior is a bit worn in places, but nothing that bothers me — it’s still got that nice, practical feel. The cabin is roomy, and the 60/40 split rear seats are useful when I’ve got a couple of kids or just need to fit more gear. The boot’s got an extendable floor, which is a small win for me when I’m going on weekend trips.

The 1.0 TSI engine isn’t the most powerful, but it’s smooth and efficient — I’ve never had to worry about it sputtering or using too much fuel. The 6-speed manual gives you a bit of control, and I actually enjoy shifting through the gears, especially on the motorway.

It’s ULEZ compliant, which is good for the city, and it comes with a full list of safety features — parking sensors, DAB radio, Bluetooth, cruise control, front and rear airbags, even a tiredness warning system. The headrests are active, and there’s a good amount of safety tech under the hood.

I’ve had it through a full HPI check, it’s got a fresh 12-month MOT, and I’ve got a 3-month RAC warranty with 12 months of breakdown cover — I’ve never had to go through a breakdown, so I know it’s reliable. There’s also a service history and two keys included.

I live in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, so if you're in the area and want to take a test drive, I’m happy to meet up. I’m not selling it just to get rid of it — I’ve actually used it for a lot of daily commutes and weekend drives, and it’s held up really well.

If you’re looking for a practical, easy-to-drive hatchback that doesn’t cost a fortune, this one’s a solid pick. I’m open to part exchanges or swapping it for something else — just let me know.

No fancy fluff, just a real car I’ve actually used. And yes, it’s worth a look — I’ve driven it a lot and it’s never let me down.
