Hi,

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has driven one of these or owns one?

 

I am just wondering what the performance is like on these as I do a lot of motorway driving but this vehicle fits my price range better! 

 

I'm just wondering if people find the performance sluggish or is the vehicle an adequate family car?

 

Thanks 

Hiya, I’ve got the 1.0 e-tec, I think it drives very well, even at motorway speeds. Previous car was a 1.0 Arona and it drives very similar despite being considerably larger. Fuel economy has been great 55-60mpg on motorway trips even with some stop start congestion. 

I know it’s not necessarily the answer you want but you really would need to test it out; if you’re coming from a diesel, or a 1.5 petrol it may feel sluggish to you despite me being entirely happy with it. 

I have a loan 1.0 e-TEC DSG estate whilst my own car is at the dealers at Skoda UKs request. Driven for a couple of months and nigh on 3000 miles. I am pleasantly surprised at the performance and drivability for a small engine in a big car. A couple fo long motorway journeys (two up and full boot) with good economy and adequate ooomph. It held 70mph easily on inclines such as the long climb up to Sharp (M6) and Beatock (M74) summits as well as the shorter sharper climb of the ridgeway on the A34 south of Oxford.

 

As @VinzClortho mentioned, the fuel economy is good, overall 56mpg since I’ve had it.

 

It’s certainly worth a close look, and if you can, take one for a drive - I’m sure, like me, you’ll be surprised.
