Hi Noel,

I actually quite like the Mokka; it's good looking, has a pleasant interior and is quite good to drive. However, I'd hold off on buying one until the new 1.6-litre diesel engine comes on line. The current 1.7-litre is an ancient design, noisy and rattly and prone to stalling at low speeds. Avoid that and wait for the new engine if you can, or if you're only doing low mileage, consider the excellent 1.4-litre turbo petrol unit instead.
