Seat Ibiza Ecomotive (2009) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 05 December 2008 11:29

Less than a year after it launched the first Ibiza Ecomotive Seat is back with a second-generation environmentally friendly Spanish supermini. And rather than an end-of-life run-out like the first car, the new Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is here to stay for the next few years. Compared with the old car the all-important fuel economy and CO2 figures are improved, from 74.3mpg and 99g/km CO2 ...

Seat Exeo (2009) CAR review

Julian Kirk, 04 November 2008 14:00

Has the Large Hadron Collider finally done its thing? Have I entered a time warp and gone back in time seven years? The reason I ask is that I’m driving what purports to be a new car but is, in fact, a model which was first launched way back in 2001. Sorry, you’ve lost me - I thought this was ...

Seat Ibiza Sport Coupe CAR review

Jed Maxwell, 03 July 2008 11:05

Seat’s Ibiza SportCoupe is further confirmation that car makers can no longer do anything as simple as producing three- and five-door versions of the same car. The five-door has to be family focused; the three-door – as with the Ibiza SportCoupe – is now aimed at a more youthful market altogether and carrying a new name. Don’t underestimate the importance of ...

Seat Ibiza 1.4 TDI Ecomotive CAR review

Tim Pollard, 04 June 2008 10:00

The Seat Ibiza Ecomotive is one of the most smile-inducing cars I’ve driven this year. It’s not very powerful (79bhp) or expensive (£11k), but it does deliver a knock-out blow to your pocket – and conscience. Why? Because the Ibiza Ecomotive churns out a paltry 99g/km of CO2 and averages a scarcely credible 74mpg on the combined cycle. At last! ...

Seat Ibiza CAR review

Adam Towler, 09 May 2008 10:02

At last, here’s a new Seat Ibiza – the fourth generation in fact – and it’s a very, very important car for the Spanish manufacturer. This is the first new model to be launched on the watch of new president Erich Schmitt, and to be styled by ex-Lamborghini design chief Luc Donckerwolke. It’s also the first car within the VW ...

Seat Altea Freetrack 4 2.0 TDi CAR review

Anonymous, 28 June 2007 11:59

Oh lord, not another modern-day Matra Rancho. Ah – immediately, you’ve spotted Seat’s biggest problem with the Altea Freetrack. This is a crossover – part MPV, part 4x4. And, with its ‘family car sporting stick-on muscles’ looks, set for a bit-part in our lives? Don’t dismiss it so fast, though. The SUV element stretches further than just black plastic body ...

Seat Leon Cupra CAR review

Anonymous, 09 November 2006 12:27

Ah, a sporty Leon. That'll be the FR, yes? No. Despite looking identical to the 197bhp Leon FR hot hatch, this is the red hot, 237bhp new Cupra. Not that you'd really know from the pictures. If it were in any other colour than black you’d spot the ebano black mirrors, and if you're really up to speed on Leon ...

Seat Altea XL 1.9 TDi CAR review

Anonymous, 16 October 2006 10:18

Altea XL. Sounds like a car for the larger person. What’s it about? Not to be too technical it’s basically an Altea with a bigger boot. And that’s it? Well, it’s the same as the Altea up to the B-pillars but you also get roof rails as standard and split tail lights. The main difference is the extra boot length ...

Seat Leon FR CAR review

Anonymous, 23 July 2006 11:30

I'm confused, does the FR replace the old Leon flagship, the Cupra? Nope, that's still to come. The FR fills the gap between the standard, 147bhp Leon and the 237bhp Cupra due here early next year. So the FR is a direct rival for the forthcoming Honda Civic Type-R and Volkswagen's Golf GTI, from which it steals its engine and ...
