Summarising tomorrows Fleet News
review, there were no diesels or DSGs at the test, just the same wheezy 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 units solidering on coupled to 5-speed boxes with 10% improvements in economy & emissions.
improved quality evident throughout the car, particularly inside.
There is a forecast 9% reduction in servicing costs (I wonder if they'll still charge £13 to adjust the handbrake at three year service).
Usual options, including a dock for popular Spaz-Nav units from Argos or Halfords.
Choppy suspension continues, but the 50kg reduction over the Mk4 gives sharper control and control. It felt safe and solid on some wet Spanish island near
Ibiza.
Bigger inside at the rear as we'd hope.
Prices from £8995 probably.
The 3-door SportCoupé will be sold as a seperate product when it arrives in November a-la Astra according to SEAT head of fleet & business Andy Webb.
