The name SEAT, previously standing for the acronym Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo

Probably SAY-at.  I don't speak Spanish, but the French would pronounce it that way.

It's SAY-aht. Every Mexican I've heard and also my friend from Spain, who owned several of them, pronounces it that way.

I agree basically with baja and my spanish is pretty decent. I've always just said seat like SEET but I never really thought about it being a Spanish company and english is my first language, I also don't use a bad german accent to say volkswagen.
