Giving it 5* as it does look nice in battleship grey as I call it, and it drives lovely, has a lot of toys, 240v inverter, blinds in rear doors are just to name some of the items that were not mentioned.. to get the same spec in the VW Sharan, you would probably look at an additional £2k However, the leg space in the 2nd row isnt the best, felt there is more in a Vauxhall Zafira. And if I would have really searched I would have preferred the same spec car but without leather, not a fan of sticky back and legs!

Seat Alhambra (2010-2020) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Fantastically practical | Some potential reliability issues |
| Sliding doors a real boon | Ford S-Max is better to drive |
| Surprisingly enjoyable to drive | Luggage space tight with all seven seats in place |
Quick Summary
The Seat Alhambra (2010-2020) is a seven-seat MPV that represents one of the most practical vehicles available on the used market. This second-generation model marked a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering increased cabin space, improved shoulder room, and legroom for all passengers. With electrically opening sliding doors, integrated child seats, and seats that fold away when not needed, the Alhambra is exceptionally family-friendly. Boot space reaches a van-like 2,430 litres with both rear rows stowed away, making it ideal for families requiring maximum versatility.
From behind the wheel, the Alhambra delivers surprising driving enjoyment for an MPV, with decent body control, plenty of grip, and assured steering. It offers a choice of TSI petrol and TDI diesel engines, with diesels providing superior fuel economy and performance. The 2015 facelift introduced more efficient engines consuming up to 15% less fuel, along with upgraded driver assistance and safety systems. Whilst reliability can be a concern, a well-maintained example with full service history represents excellent value. The Alhambra remains one of the finest MPVs to drive, second only to the Ford S-Max in handling dynamics.
Best for: Families requiring maximum practicality and space, those seeking a seven-seater with genuine driving enjoyment, and buyers prioritising versatile seating and luggage configurations.
Not ideal for: Those concerned about potential reliability issues, drivers prioritising the sharpest handling dynamics, or buyers needing maximum boot space with all seven seats occupied.

The Verdict
You should buy the Alhambra if: You require maximum practicality and space, seek a seven-seater with genuine driving enjoyment, or prioritise versatile seating and luggage configurations for family use.
Consider alternatives if: You are concerned about potential reliability issues, prioritise the sharpest handling dynamics, or need maximum boot space with all seven seats occupied.
Competitive Position: The Seat Alhambra (2010-2020) stands as one of the finest MPVs available on the used market, offering exceptional practicality and surprising driving enjoyment. Whilst the Ford S-Max edges ahead in handling dynamics and the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso offers better value deals, the Alhambra's combination of space, versatility, and driving pleasure makes it highly competitive.

With a well-maintained example and full service history, the Alhambra represents excellent value for those prioritising practicality without sacrificing driving engagement.
