Title: Mokka
Post by: Lagondanet on 21 November 2018, 11:58:03: Her indoors is interested in another car.
She mentioned Mokka.
Anyone have any experience of these? Pre Mokka X (ie. 2012-2016)?

Not the best handling but a perfect girly car

Unfortunately she was made redundant before it was delivered... Someone has got a very well specced '67 plate diesel, and presumably the monthlies to match ;D

Post by: Paddy Flannery on 24 November 2018, 19:39:13: Got given a 1.6 petrol on hire last year.
Cheap, unresponsive, underpowered, woolly handling piece of junk. Felt like an old style Meriva and how it used to feel to drive. >:(

Problem solved, you'll love the Mokka :y
