How much oil were you putting into it? I doubt it had a test either as they're impossible to get through the emissions once they go over the 200k mark.

Those 1.4's are very fickle.

You do see a multitude of ****ters that burn oil and run like a dog. They are very fragile that way.

On the other hand anything with a service history that has had its oil services on time seem to go on and on. Have seen a few over 300k kms.

That Golf looks like a dog IMO, if it didnt have the cream leather you wouldnt look twice at it.

Very clean looking Micra with a bit of Covid NCT left on it until August. 350 quid

Work colleague has an Octavia with that engine, he bought it when it was 2 years old (06 car bought in 08), minded this fcuker like a babby, at 220,000km it's burning oil like a good 'un. I know at least 3 golfs with the same carry on every one of them ended up with the scrap man (except the Octy he's still minding her like the golden child)

Burning a sup of oil isn't the end of the world either. I dont say that in defence of the 1.4 either, they aren't a great engine regardless.

When it makes it impossible to pass the test it's a disaster.

Oh yes,always liked it's oil. I had it from new. I serviced it with the correct oil for most of it's life and kept an eye on the level. Emissions fail once and it needed a part. Otherwise it was a good old Italian tune up on the way to the centre. Many cars will have emissions issues as they age. I'm not saying they are bullet proof. Just saying they are capable of more than 200kms.

flexcon · 09-06-2020 08:51AM

Somebody please buy this.

I got my second one a few months back here from a link and it's the best car I have ever owned.

This looks to be the 150hp model, so a quick tune will bring it to 210hp ( yes those engines were seriously detuned)

It's just an ECU map. A few guys in Ireland, and the UK can do it.

I spent £110 to take my aero up from 210 to 250 (baring in mind on paper its at that level - no dyno yet to prove it)

Nordic tuning, or noobtune would be well known ones for years. You mail off the ECU to them and its sent back.

It's far from M1nt but it'd be a solid buy at circa €500 if you could haggle to that or near it.

Any savvy buyer is getting that for €400 which is worth the 5 months tax and test alone!

Those Jazz’ are too often overlooked. They’re brilliant cars

They are, I've a 2011 Fit (1.3 hybrid) the last couple years and it's just brilliant.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 09-06-2020 04:30PM

Is anyone going to see that Jazz? It’s a bit too far for me as I’m in limerick. Be the ideal yoke for me while my own car is garaged.

What is so great about these Saabs? Everyone seems too have a high opinion of them. Currently rocking a 00 Xantia 2.0 hdi. Currently 200k on the clock a reckon its good for another 200-300k aswell.

Averaging 60+mpg. Always on the lookout to have a solid banger on hand

On average they have been built really well.

While they are based on the vectra - they seem to have been more refined. The engines are bullet proof once minded and the turbo rarely goes.

This one is actually the 175hp engine not 150 which I said earlier.

I’m honestly tempted to buy this if it’s not sold next week.

jodaw · 09-06-2020 05:31PM

Looks nice. The 8.6l/100km seems a little steep though. Would expect a lot more from a diesel. Anyone have one of these long term and know what mileage they return?

It's a petrol.

jodaw · 09-06-2020 05:43PM

That explains the 8.6l then. Should have looked closer at ad. These come in 1.9 tdi also dont they? Is it only petrols that are reliable?

At that consumption ok for a run around but no good for commute

Anything to look out for folks. Hoping to buy this in the morning.

Surprisingly my insurance is 600 euro for it.

Sorry I can't post full links and thought would be better posting in this forum as fits in bangernomics.

Also what MPG would you get or how much would it cost for 320KM of driving.

Thanks.

The diesel engine in them is very good. It's 150bhp and average consumption is around 50mpg or 5.6l/100kms on decent long runs. Herself had a petrol one and then the diesel and now has an ALfa 159 with the same diesel engine and gets about 5.5-5.7l/100kms out of that also.

There is also a 120bhp version. Not sure what one is like on fuel, but the 150 is a cracker of an engine with lots of power and great torque.

Not bangeromics but one hell of an engine.

Again it will happily be mapped to 240hp but 180 as standard.

Unsure of reliability. No experience
