Hi, i Have just ordered a Leon se ecomotive with media pack. im currently driving a Note so this is a bit of an upgrade. does anyone have any experiances of the SE ecomotive or sat nat they would like to share? there doesnt seem to be a huge amount of info on the web for the leon?
That's because no one has them. TFSI, CUPRA or FR mainly.But who knows someone might be along soon.
An ecomotive with media pack? You sure the extra weight and extra electrical load won't raise the MPG too much......

Hi mattster.
Don't own one but had a Leon Ecomotive TDI as a courtesy car over two days when I had my 10K service and some warranty stuff done. Nice drive, smooth, quite torquey, good mpg (as you'd expect!). Handling was good - as usual for a Leon - but the skinny tyres may be good for mpg but aren't quite so good for road-holding and heavy braking. Had a Leon 1.4i today as a courtesy car and that was pants compared to the Ecomotive - seemed to drink petrol too, my FR is more economical fuel-wise than the 1.4. £10 in petrol only lasted 56 miles!
However, I'm sure you'll love your Leon and it is most definitely an upgrade from a Note. Get a nice subtle SCN sticker on it!![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

hey hey,
yeah im a new ECO owner aswell, trying to search for the Ibiza ECO owners on his site. just picked mine up today, super stoked about having it!
just had the eco se delivered on the back of a trailer yesterday. so far impresiions are very positive allthough the recommended gear is a bit naff as it is asking me to upshift at just over 1000 revs. the media system is ace and sat nav very smooth. i have the tmobile galaxy lite android which worked with no issues.
performance wise its very simular to a 1.6 petrol so not too slugish, but im never gonna keep up with your frs and cupras
the brakes and road handling are excellent, much better than my outgoing nissan.
one question, is there a way of the wing mirrors automaticly folding when i lock the car?

Yep Holding down the lock button will fold them in Should also put up the Windows and close the Electric Sunroof too (if you have one of course)
Should also put up the Windows and close the Electric Sunroof too (if you have one of course) I wonder if theres anyone who buys an ecomotive that after buying it thinks hmm needs more and gets it remapped? Yeh I know a stupid questionit was just the first thing that popped into my head. And then once it was mapped would it be even more eco because it should get higher mpg?
hehehe

its a company leased car so no mods for this one
i almost got an fr but that would have cost me £120 per month as opposed to 80 for this one with the media pack, i also claim mileage hence why i went for the ecomotive. i just took it for a drive up to the forest of dean ive never owned a seat before but enjoyong so far, plenty of torque for overtaking, it reminds me of my old celica to drive.Similar threads
