Seat Leon Ecomotive Test Drive and Review
More and more Manufacturers are joining the sub 100g/km CO2 emission group and Seat is the latest to join this seasons “in” colour group – “green.”. The Seat Ecomotive S is a sporty little number like most Ecomotives. Even though sporty, you can still save money on your tax bill and fuel economy.
Size wise, the car is much bigger than you would expect. It’s certainly suitable for hefty six-footers and there’s plenty of leg and headroom in the car and the boot is big enough for the weekly supermarket shop.
One possibly annoying feature of this car are the windscreen pillars are “chunky” and you may have to move backwards and forwards to see when negotiating a roundabout or corner. However, on a positive note, the windscreen wipers fit beautifully into the pillars.
