Yes 'tis. Has the 1.4 petrol turbo. Cheap to run but still has 140bhp. I reckon diesels are becoming too complicated, petrols are possibly more reliable now.

Jeep are getting some serious power out of their smaller petrol engines lately.
Mind you Ford, Vauxhall and Dacia ain't doing too bad either. They're just repeating what Daihatsu did in the eighties though, the Charade GTti was a wicked little tool!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
They cheated. As they are now owned by Fiat, they are having to use their engines, so it's the same engine as in the 500 etc. Not real Jeeps anymore, at least unless you buy a Hemi.

I think it's still too early to say if small high power petroleum engines are more reliable than the diesel equivalents.
They are both pretty complex these days, although the additional cost of the diesel pump probably just swings it the way of the petrol engine.

Not counting the huge problems people are having with EGR and DPF you mean?

Besides which, petrols are much less polluting.

Well that's exactly it. Michelle will be using this around town, so it will spend most of it's time doing short journeys.
There is also the fact that petrols are cheaper to buy and service.

I did research all this before making the decision of what to buy..
