Almost flawless.

Bought the SEAT as we have 5 children and needed a vehicle that would easily transport them and leave some boot space. On the whole the Alhambra is brilliant; good built quality, good economy, excellent spec and some nice little touches.

The only downside is that the electric sliding doors (we have this and the panoramic roof as options) don't always work properly. For some reason the passenger side electric sliding door exhibits an intermittent fault and when you try to close the door it springs back open when it's about 2cm from closing. You can force the door to close by giving it a gentle push when it's close to closing - but for an expensive option it's annoying. Needless to say the dealer and Seat support have been r******. Essentially they've taken the view that because they can't replicate the fault when I take the car in there's nothing that can be done.... I've even posted a video of the door not working on you tube (search for seat alhambra 2011 faulty electric sliding door) but this still doesn't appear to interest them....
