Verdict?
For those who like fast cars capable of carrying a family comfortably and quickly, the new GT 220 Sport Tourer is well worth looking at.
For the money, it’s arguably one of the best fast estates to drive – the close to £30,000 SEAT Leon ST Cupra is a class leader – and is still usable enough to use day to day.
What could put buyers off, however, is those high running costs and big company car tax bills. A lot of rivals of similar performance and will help keep some extra pounds in your pocket.
