1.4 TB MultiAir (170ps) Cloverleaf 3d

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This is a great little are. The 1.4 MultiAir engines are temperamental, as it is the gearbox with the engine cold, but being cheap to insure, and fast for the ratio power/weight ( 170ps/1145kg) I would recommend . It also consumes a bit less that the typical HotHatch, sitting in Motorway at 70mph with 39/44 mpg easily on cruise control. It has some caveats typical of FCA cars, like the electronic suspensions that are expensive to repair/replace, but overall, and so far having done 11,000 miles on long distance journeys it surprised me positively every time I drive it. Also if you Opt for a version with Sabelt bucket seats like I did, make sure you're happy with the hard foam, or buy covers/pillows for long journeys. Also be conscious they are rare, and now worth 7,000-9,000 for an good one QV or QV SBK or Veloce TCT , so they are expensive to acquire for the 1.4 engine it has, but it worth to opt over like an 1.4 Polo GTI.

How reliable do you find the car?

Bought it with 20,300 miles , and not a lot of usage over the previous 3 years. Had minor problems, did a big review and been doing long distance travel with it to continental Europe and back, so far zero problems, except normal parts wear like tyres and fluids.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Very surprised I an bluetooth stream for an Iphone or exchang via jack port the sound and stream from Spotify, Youtube.musi and other apps. With a small holder bypass the need for an Android Auto radio.
