Took a Mokka out for a test drive today, a 1.7 Exclusive FWD
.Main concerns were engine noise/performance and seating comfort for SWMBO. No problems on either front. The engine is noisier than my iX35, but not intrusively so. I noted the "growl" as reported here when accelerating, and also the fact that the turbo comes in a lot later than on my current vehicle. Power output was noticeably better than the 1.7 diesel in my iX35.
Having returned the car to the dealer, he brought out an SE vehicle just off the transporter for us to try the seats. All OK and SWMBO has duly agreed the vehicle.
Dealer volunteered that "Misty Lake" is being discontinued as has been mentioned here, so looks like it will be "Summit White" for me.
Am now just waiting to see how close dealer can get to my online pricing. He will be getting back to me shortly. I rather expect a negative response. So decision made - "Summit White" (probably) 1.7 diesel in SE trim and AWD. Will be hitting the phone tomorrow to tie up a deal
