Not all 1.0 engines are the same. The turbocharged Ford Ecoboost lumps are a lot different to the sort of thing you get in a base model shopping car that Grannys buy. 70 in the loaner I've got until tomorrow is smooth and quiet, with a fair surge in reserve when you go for an overtake. It's as tourquey as a 1.8 16v from five years back and very handy. Try one and you'll be as surprised as I was. |

My BM went in for looking at a couple of weeks back and they gave me a new 118i. I thought they had forgotten to put the engine in. I suppose you get used to 400nm torque and 200+ HP of a diesel. The 118i Also only returned 28mpg. My 123D returns around 40mpg on average (2L Twin Turbo) Still, im sure that Diesels will start increasing in running costs due to the pollutants they emit |

I'm now poorer by quite a lot but Lady Poppy's car now handles a LOT better. Quieter too as they also replaced a suspension top mount which was causing a rumbling noise we hadn't noticed as it was a gradual deterioration.
Viney you're quite right in that the 1.0 needed a few more revs and the torques were not quite as satisfying as my 1.6 Ecoboost. At least the extended test drive I effectively got means I have made up my mind to get the newer 1.5 version in a Focus when we replace the old Mondy later this year. |
