Seat Ibiza ST E-Ecomotive 1.2 TDI 2012

Hello

Got this car this week and the only thing this far that I've done is that I've raised the air pressure in the tires to 50 psi.

The claimed MPG is 68, and claimed CO2 is 89g/100 km so it should be quite efficient as standard.

Ecomotive package includes factory upper grille block, 15 mm lowered suspension and taller gearing. It should have skinnier tires, but those have been replaced by the previous owner to wider ones. The engine is a 1.2 liter 3 cylinder diesel.



I really don't like the rear shape of the car. But the rear spoiler shape is pressed steel in the boot door, so I don't know how to make it more aero.



The same rear door is used on the hatchback, so the spoiler angle is wrong for the station wagon.



A lower front grille block is the first thing to do.

Haven't filled it up yet. Can't wait to see the fuel economy. :-)
