Today, the resurgent Seat brand is selling better cars than at any time in its history.

In large part, that’s because it is one of the brands owned by the VW Group. Underneath, all of the cars it sells are strongly related to similar models sold by Volkswagen itself, or the likes of Skoda and even Audi. If you are buying a Leon, for example, the hardware will be similar to that of the Golf, Octavia and A3.

But while Seat makes the most of this tie-up to offer everything from city, small and family cars, including estates, through to a full range of SUVs, it also adds in its own slice of character, both with its distinctive styling approach and because its engineers generally tune the cars to deliver sportier handling.

While all of its cars are decent, it is the SUVs that stand out. The Arona and Ateca are among the class leaders and have enjoyed triumphs at the What Car? Awards.

Ensure that a seat is suitable for your car by checking with the manufacturer, a qualified salesperson in stores or on online services such as Britax's Fit Finder (click <a href="http://www.britax.co.uk/index.php?option=com_fitfinder&amp;amp;home=1&amp;amp;Itemid=62">here</a> to view). Straps should be padded and easy to adjust, while deep side cushions offer added protection in a side impact. Never buy a second-hand seat, as it may have been in a crash and any damage may not be visible.
