Percy2&Daffyd Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I used to have fun driving 1.6D Escort vans fast and they were very underpowered. The 1.6D Fiesta was a good laugh to drive too.I think the 1.7D Arosa will be a fun car to drive but it's all down to what your used to driving, i used to think the Fiesta was fast but nowadays, after my TDi it would feel slow.My conclusion: If it's a tidy car and the right price, go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) I test drove a 1.7 SDi once, many moons ago when I had just got started on the ArosaAcceleration felt much the same as the 1.0, but hills were better. Alot noisier though, down an enclosed lane it sounded like I was driving a Challenger Tank! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Edited August 10, 2007 by lunalupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
