I think it best just not to purchase these little engines.

Thanks for input. I don’t think that there is much mileage in the small 1.4T or 1.5T engines. After all they are little over turbocharged engines. Great for racing cars, but not long term use for road cars. I see that Honda have pulled their 1.5T engine due to all the faults it had, and I can,t see any other companies not facing the same problems sooner or later. I did drive a Honda Civic with a 1.5T engine and it did go, but for how many years.

Hi chaps or ladies out there. Due to only doing short trips these days I am looking to sale my 2018 vw passat estate and get a petrol estate. Most cars these days are running on very small engines which I don’t see lasting much longer then their warranty period if that. What took my eye was the octave estate with the 2lt petrol engine pushing out 190bhp and the VRS pushing out 245bhp. I am now too old to be a boy racer, but I do like to push on when possible. I have seen a few of these cars on gazoo or supermarket this and that, but they have a bad reputation, my brother purchased a car off gazoo which had been dressed up to sale covering up damage underneath from a accident. so a few questions. Are there any honest dealers out there which sale these cars at a fair price. What to look for when driving one of these cars, are there weak points to watch out for. I am looking for a car from 2018 with low miles. If it was you which car would you go for and why. Thanks
