2011 Seat Alhambra Ecomotiv CR SE 2.0 TDi from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Tough enough
Faults:
EGR valve, air con, wheel bearings, bonnet catch, oil leak, brakes, etc.
General Comments:
Used this vehicle as a taxi for years. It was spacious, comfortable and economical.
Inexpensive to repair when it did go wrong with typical diesel issues from cars from this era. No major issues if serviced on time however.
Quite smart looking in dark grey with alloys and window tints.
Huge MPV, nice to drive and the 2.0 TDi was well suited and proven. Anything between 40 - 50 mpg on diesel. Recommended as a taxi or large family vehicle - just make sure you get a nice one, lots of abused examples out there at this age. Only traded it as I had to move on to a newer vehicle for taxi service.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
