Vauxhall Mokka reviews

I've always had Vauxhalls and thought I would try the Mokka SE 1600 Petrol. Pros are a relatively comfortable drive, sporty looks, pretty economical and a good old fashioned spare wheel and jack. Negatives are very poor acceleration, pointless gear change notification which tells me to change into 5 gear at around 38mph and it only has 5 gears, ridiculously small boot which when you open and close the lid on you get wet if it has been raining, poor build quality in places such as sharp edges under the steering wheel and a high tax bracket at £250 per year. I have not had it long enough to comment on reliability but personally I would not buy another Mokka. If you are considering one it might be worth trying the larger size engines as this is basically a jacked up Corsa.

Ok car but the paint peels off the wing mirrors. Looks really shabby. Tried to ask vauxhall about the situation and they are not interested

I have this car for a few months now and when I drove away from the dealer I loved it but the very next evening it choked out on me in the middle of the street when I downshifted..It has done that a numerous occasions entering a roundabout and just after pulling storm a stop with a bus coming hard behind me.. I loved the car but since the dealer says that they can find nothing wrong despite the fact that it choked on their mechanic and service manager and it is just the type of it..Has anyone else experienced this? It does it even when the automatic stop/start is off.

I'm on to my second Mokka. The drive is comfortable with a good all round visibility. The built quality is good and when you close the doors there is a solid clunk not a tinny sound. This makes me feel that I'm in a car that feels safe

very well made , good mileage and running cost, will fit in most garages, comfortable ,easy to drive, one of the best cars I have had, good design, designed for the driver

I have only had the car for just over 2 months, but find it extremely comfortable and enjoy driving it. For a fairly small car it is very roomy.

Very disappointed in the rough ride and cabin noise, I was expecting better. Feels like a bin lorry on a bumpy road. Disappointing excelleration. Inside cabin comfort is very good and fairly room. I like the high seating position and probably wouldn't go back to a standard saloon/hatchback, but might have to do this if all of these crossovers have the same ride. Looks and shape of the car are excellent and I'm becoming more used to the ride but it's still a bit ropey compared to my previous Astra and certainly very different to the new Astra.

Had nothing else but Vauxhall for over 30years love the mokka for size and economy but this must be the most noisiest desiel engine have had in all of my cars !!!

Having previously owned a Ford Mondeo, although the Mokka was cheaper to buy, I don't think it has the same build quality as the Mondeo. There are also one or two irritating issues with it. It has start/stop capabilities which occasionally engages unexpectantly! I've had this happen on roundabouts a few times and it can be quite disconserting at the time. I also have a problem when driving that my left knee rubs against the panel under the dash and becomes irratating. The boot is very small for the size of the car, something I didn't realise till after I purchased the car. It doesn't have the feeling of quality I would expect, an example is when closing the boot lid, it sounds very "tinny".

I have two things that annoy me - the lack of space in the boot and the fact that if there has been any moisture in the air I get wet when I close the boot. other than those things I am very satisfied with the car.

Excellent vehicle - first automatic I have had and would not go back to a maual

Two factory recalls, any more? I do enjoy the car

looked for ages for a Vauxhall Mokka diesel in the misty lake colour almost given up when this one turned up on this web site. we love the car and the dealer was great car delivered to our house when it was ready.

I have been looking at the Mokka since the model came out. I previously owned a BMW 5 Series,so a change to a Mokka was a big leap and I wanted to make sure it was the right move. I have now had the vehicle for 6 weeks, and I do not miss the BMW at all. The Mokka is exceptional! The SE Model has all the bells and whistles and drives like a dream. The Mokka is aready registering 60 MPG on the computer and the handleing is very good. The SE model has all the extras you could require and the leather seats are very good quality. I am also in good books with my wife as the seats are heated with 3 heat settings. The Mokka has STOP/START as standard, although, I do not like this particular extra, this does not detract from the driving or enjoyability of the Mokka. I just switch it off. Apart from that small thing which is personal to me the MOKKA is a great vehicle and anyone purchaseing one will not be disapointed.

some of the motoring press said when vauxhall introduced this new addition, "under powered, harsh ride, noisey". total rubbish had this motor two and a half years and love it. plenty of poke, good economy and comfy.

I bought this car because I wanted something a little higher and I'm definitely not disappointed. It drives really well & is very comfortable. I have only had it a month so time will tell! I am roughly getting 36 to the gallon so not bad really. It doesn't come with a spare wheel so may buy one in the future.

very fuel efficient.Had to pay extra for spare wheel.!!! comfort is good.good driving position and forward view.

Comfortable to drive especially with a higher seating position. The only downside I have found is the smaller than average bootsize.

Surprising amount of space. Capable on the road. Road noise a little more than would expect.
