Buying a Multipla

but I would not describe it as jerky. Or is it a clutch characteristic? More info. please. The low-end torque of the diesel can make the car jerk in high gears if you are not used to it. Have you driven a diesel before?

You will only know whether the petrol model is better for you by trying it, but the general feeling is that the JTD is a much better option than the 1.6 petrol. Our 1.9JTD records 40/42 mpg on short runs.

It's a great car, by the way!

The power deilivery was jerky after trying 2 JTDs. Perhaps it's because I'm used to petrol engines.

definitely not jerky unless in too high a gear. Beautiful in first when in a very slow traffic jam. 80,000 km and very satisfied with my MultiplaDiesel.

You'll get used to the way you have to drive them - the accelerator on my

1.9 jtd was very different from the carisma I had before it, but I never regretted the change!
