Seat Ateca: Value for money and outrageously practical without being flamboyant or flash

Seat Ateca — whose digital assistant has been given the name Laura — hides its light under a bushel of blandness. The design is underwhelming, but it really does deliver in terms of price, practicality, and all-round usefulness. Thanks, Laura.

In some respects, the Ateca is all things to all men (and women) without being in any way flamboyant or flash. It may not be quite as white-hot as it used to be, but it is still a favourite because of its latent value for money and outrageous practicality.
