The cheapest electric car you can actually live with? Seat Mii Electric review

Video Summary

The SEAT Mii Electric, along with its sister cars, is available for less than £20,000 after the government grant. The exterior style is "fine," not offensive, but not winning beauty contests. The interior includes jazzy touches like sporty seats and sparkly plastic on the door. The cabin lacks an infotainment system, instead using a phone holder, a clever cost-cutting measure. The car is comfortable to drive, ironing out road bumps well. Though soft, it tends to roll through corners. The SEAT Mii Electric is relaxing to drive, with good visibility and super light steering. It has eco modes, and punching it from a set of lights can embarrass petrol-powered cars, though the battery will run out more quickly. It has regenerative braking with four different strengths. Rear windows only pop out an inch, and its boot is tiny. For motorway driving, it copes well but is happiest going under 50 mph. This model sets a very high bar for electric cars and is the definition of cheap and cheerful.
