@@michelangekjustin9877 it depends, 1.4 petrol is pretty slow and you notice it uphill especially, but 1.4 Turbo petrol can really fly on straights especially if you take it to 6500 revs, the 1.6turbo petrol is 180bhp and it really is nippy. but if yoh want something with more instant punch then get a diesel, 1.7cdti would be good but if you can afford it go for a 2.0cdti its perfect. Personally id go for 1.6 turbo petrol as i like to redline lol but diesels have more benefits such as more torque and not having to downshift when going from 40 to 70

Hello mate i was thinking of getting the 1.6 petrol, what mileage should i get on this car ? Looking to spend about 4.5k, if i get one with 60k miles how long would you say the car will last ik it depends on how its kept but roughly how much can i get out of it
@vladcars7328
Жыл бұрын
Hi mate, good idea, 1.6 will use a bit more fuel but might be a bit better to drive, also worth looking at diesel versions (1.3, 1.6, 2.0) as they will be cheaper to run. If in good condition and maintained properly, you should easily be able to get 100k+ miles out of it.
