If you want tyre-scorching acceleration, don’t buy the SEAT Leon S Copa 1.6 CR Ecomotive. If you are looking for those smooth, sexy, sleek lines of some exotic boulevard cruiser, then you might not buy this SEAT either. However, if you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and modern-looking car that delivers impressive economy, then the 1.6 CR E Ecomotive is well worth a second look.

Audi A4 launch; Coworth Park Hotel, Berkshire

 

Such was the significance of the introduction of Audi’s newest A4 that it was in fact the largest range the manufacturer had ever refreshed in one launch with more than 100 variations of the model available. Audi tells us that the A4 is in fact the longest running model in the company and has been around since the mid-90s, but the focus with this new model has been on reducing CO2, the company achieving an 11% reduction in emissions across the range.

VW Golf Cabriolet

UK launch 06 Sept, 2011

 

The weather forecast was for gales and rain, heavy rain at times. It was of course the beginning of September in England, so anything was possible weather-wise, and we certainly had it all.
