Our Fleet Test Drive: Seat Exeo ST - 11th Report

Date: 28 October 2010   |   Author: Rachel Burgess

Handbrake

The Exeo ST is proving popular with the BusinessCar team, and only minor qualms are rearing their ugly heads, one of which is seemingly a design fault.

When the handbrake is applied it clashes with the armrest (see above). The armrest does move to a vertical position to rectify this, but for the driver, it is far more comfortable when horizontal. This area of the car can also become a veritable mess of wires when an iPod is plugged into the aux socket and a kid's DVD player is plugged into the cigarette lighter.
