yanto Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I wouldn't go for the 12 litre engine. You'll be lucky getting 5mpg😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be lucky getting 5mpg😉 Yeah, my 3.5ltr Landrover did less than 12mpg when flogged; dread to think what a 12ltr engine would return. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markm Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The wife had one, either 1.4 or 1.5. It was very thirsty for the size of the car.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
figgy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Auntie and uncle had one, boot was tiny and the car was far too small inside for how chunky they look outside. That wasn't good on fuel, main reason they got rid of it. They were very sedate drivers. Think nun driving and that's them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samboy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Iv'e just bought a 2 yr old auto 1600cc Juke and i'm happy with it. But it is a bit juicy, small boot, not a lot of room inside but enough for me. Yes they are funny looking things but there are plenty of them on the road so they cant be all that bad. After driving a Vauxhall combo van for 8 yrs its lts like driving a Rolls Royce. I can see me keeping it for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most makers now have the option of a small engine with a big turbo and a clever ECU. They can perform like a much bigger engine and they can also return excellent mpg but they don't do both at the same time. IOW, depending on your driving pattern you can have good economy or good performance. That's true for every internal combustion engine but it's much more marked with the snappy little turbo units which have a very small operating envelope for good mpg. Suzuki share some technology with Mazda and the latest non turbo, larger capacity engines can return high mpg figures without having to drive like old Mrs Scoggins and they're also much less stressed so potentially longer lasting as well.

bavarianbrit Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Rented a joke just after they came out for my work in Poland. The passengers outside door handle came off in my hand. Goodbye Nissan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
washerboy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Had a Nissan quashqui(spelling)... Only had it 6 months but did 7k in that time, 1.5 tdi and it would do 55mpg all day long. A run from Doncaster to Hawick it was averaging 68 mpg. Good cars let down by the radio and the phone signal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
