Flex Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) 1.4 'rocco is 280 per month over 4 yrs, only fractionally slower then the 2.0. That is 4 yrs though and wasnt that keen on keeping it for that long. Apparently the 1.4 is turbo and supercharged, zoom, zoom, oh wait thats mazda's catch phrase.

StevoD Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Does it make fake engine noises like other vw with that engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Does it make fake engine noises like other vw with that engine lol, I haven't got a clue! I've not driven the 1.4, have driven the 2ltr petrol & diesel and they both sounded fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I had a friend with the 1.4 twin charged engine ibiza bocanegra (same engine i believe) and he had no end of problems. He had at one point two engine replacements and that was all in the first 11 months of brand new ownership. Said terrible customer service from seat aswell.

coldel Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My 1.4 'rocco was brilliant, great seats, nice interior, decent kit. The only mechanical problem I had was that the car developed a noise which can only be described as the sort of noise you would get if you "stuck a cartoon guinea pig under the throttle and pressed it just hard enough to make it squeak without hurting it" Apparently it is a design issue and you have to listen deliberately to hear it but by all accounts on the forum lots of owners experienced it. Otherwise quick car for a 1.4 litre, decent mpg if driven easy as well. You could always stick a sneaky map on it if you are feeling naughty and want some more horses...although the response is pretty sharp as is. In terms of mechanical issues, all cars have them, the ones on the 'rocco are relatively minor in comparison to lots of other cars from what I saw when I checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I've got to go test drive a 1.4! I've almost test driven as many cars as I've owned in my life over the last month. Or I could just take your word for it CD and have done with.

Bems Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 To throw into the mix... http://m.kia.co.uk/range/mid-sized/new-proceed-gt.aspx Evo magazine have spoken highly of their long termer. I personally think it looks great & I would imagine it will be fairly reliable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
