I was surprised, until I read the last paragraph. SEAT and Skoda have been the reliable VW brands for 2-3 decades, with the Ibizas and Octavias reaching mythical status. I read somewhere that some SEATs are actually rebadged VW china models. Great way for VW to squander reputation.

The one I’ve got is built in Slovenia I believe.

But it’s not really SEAT that’s the problem, but the dreadful iteration of VW’s MQB platform. The same issues affect all VW group cars in this generation.
