From Arona to Ibiza, we test four Seat cars in the Spanish towns they were named after - this is the ultimate road trip
ONLY a Spanish brand can get away with naming cars after random towns in its own country.
You’ve got the Seat Leon, Arona, Ateca, Tarraco and Ibiza. They all sound pretty exotic wherever you are in the world.I took an Arona to Arona, Ateca to Ateca, Tarraco to Tarragona, and an Ibiza to Ibiza in a four-day road test of Seat carsOf course, naming cars after places is not an original idea. Ford gave us the Cortina, Capri and Granada.California, Dodge Charger Daytona and, er, Austin Montego. Hyundai has the Santa Fe.
Now, let’s crack on. At this time of year I’d normally load up the inflatable dolphin and head to Eurocamp.But I thought I’d do something different this summer and find out where the Spaniards got their names from — by having a look for myself. So I took an Arona to Arona, Ateca to Ateca, Tarraco to Tarragona , and an Ibiza to Ibiza. Yep, Ibiza was the big win at the end.The motor Arona is Seat’s smallest SUV - an Ibiza on stilts
