Yes it is a shame as the rest of the car was great. I still think it's one of the best looking cars on the road today, especially in that colour with those wheels!

We're going electric.. got a stonking lease deal on a Mokka-e, with wall charger included too. It's due end of January so let's see how that will pan out.

Nice car. I looked at some YouTube reviews of those only last week.

Good luck with it.

My wife has been looking at the Mokka, nice car except for the piano black interior, absolutely spoils the car IMO. If not for that we would have ordered one already.
Does everyone with the automatic get such bad mpg, or, was yours a one off?

Wowzz - I had a Mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier - nice car at the time.
However!
Daily Event:
Started first time every morning - off to the local parade of shops;
Walk back to the car with paper, milk, etc, to a nicely warmed up engine;
Wouldn't start! - every blooming time! - had to hang on the starter button until nearly flattening the battery before it would catch.

Nothing more embarrassing than vainly churning it over and over in front of all your mates and neighbours!

I don't know why manufacturers insist on piano black interiors - they're absolute finger print and scratch magnets.
I have seen others with the auto complain of getting a similar economy to ours, but I personally think it's down to journey type. Short around town trips just seem to tank the mpg.

All cars are the same. My son has been looking at Hondas, Toyotas and Hyundais and every model seems to be cheaper new that second hand.

The madness will end soon. Hang on in there.

If the chip shortage lasts into 2023 there'll be no respite. I haven't heard of any manufacturer who's delivery dates are less than 6 months.
