I love that they’re so unique in design compared to anything else on the market.
It’s great that it saved Vauxhall from the ignominy of a takeover from a crappy brand.
I think all the PSA brands are significantly better than Vauxhall.It’s great that it saved Vauxhall from the ignominy of a takeover from a crappy brand.
I really don’t know why anyone buys a Vauxhall, they aren’t class leading in anything, I have a insignia grand sport and it’s nice but not as nice as a mondeo and miles behind a Passat
Hilarious thread!
I have had a few Mokka X's as rentals and they are much, much better than a Corsa (most things are), but they were not anything I would actively choose to drive. It wasn't as nice as, say, a Hyundai i20.
Why would you feel shame for diving an older model? Do you feel a need to only drove current cars? Very odd.
Surely a wind up?

People slag off the mokka, but I had 2 as rental cars and I actually really liked it, dog slow and not the most refined but Better than a juke
Same here. I came to the conclusion that the folk (mostly on here) who proclaim how awful it is are just morons. No, it’s not the best thing ever, but it really is some way off being terrible.

Hi,
I have a Vauxhall Mokka SE in grey and I was wondering what you all think of the Vauxhall Mokkas design. I’ve always thought it was a lovely looking car but what’s your opinion?
Also do you think I should feel shame for driving a car which isn’t being made by Vauxhall anymore?
Thanks.
Ooh, the SE, and in grey, I like it. I have a Vauxhall Mokka SE in grey and I was wondering what you all think of the Vauxhall Mokkas design. I’ve always thought it was a lovely looking car but what’s your opinion?

I mean you could have had a run of the mill Corsa, but instead you can ride those kerbs with aplomb being up so high, not concerned by the drop in fuel efficiency over the little thing it's based on, and didn't waste money on the Elite or Ultimate with all that posh stuff you don't need, the SE is the thinking buyer's choice. And the practicalities of a smaller boot than the competition are easily outweighed by the smart styling! I mean a Ferrari can still only go 30 in a 30 zone, and you've got more boot space come what may!
Still can't believe it never won Car of The Year, or Decade really, I mean just look at what you get!

This. Modern classic, utterly stunningPrices will start heading up soon, either get in now or forever lust at a respectful distance.
Just keep the leather in good condition. Vauxhall repairs only, part numbers required.
eBay DIY fix makes them worthless.
It’s all about maintaining that Vauxhall provenance.
In addition to the above notes on servicing, to do them justice you would have to store them in a climate controlled carcoon or similar.
Vauxhalls are absolutely no better or worse than any other car Ford/VW/Nissan etc who make mass market cars.
We did consider a Mokka when my wife wanted to replace her Qashqai but it seemed a bit small in comparison so she bought a newer model Qashqai instead. Thanks to discounting Vauxhalls are quite good value though.

Vauxhall's are for people who live near a Vauxhall dealer and haven't tried anything else.
Research shows that 98% of women doing the school run in PJ's and dressing gowns are Vauxhall owners.The most desirable provenance for a second hand Mokka is to have a 'Chantelle' down as the previous owner, if your lucky you might find a Pandora charm down the side of the seat.

That's what I thought until I moved near to a Vauxhall dealer and tried one. And - I'll admit - I was quite bowled over. They are superb cars (Mokka Exclusiv 1.4T), the finish, the power, the handling, the imagine
i would say mine they are one of the top 10 cars on the road, real luxury
They're driven by heroes, too.
Who could forget that guy who rescued the dog from the M3 in a Mokka and came to PH to tell us about it?
His Mokka had flashing Walt lights and Walt sirens, and everything. He called it 'Project Amber'.
Behold... https://youtu.be/tJAI4QPyTnM
Remember, he also provided vital assistance to the fire service by waving a red warning triangle around when he came across a car fire once (but I can't find that clip on YouTube now).

Looks are very subjective, I have no issue with Vauxhalls and in fact think some of their cars over the years and a couple of their modern designs are very nice.
I personally hate the Mokka, I suppose the looks aren't awful, not Juke levels but it's just another SUV in a list of 'meh' cars. That's just my views on it though.

Its just the usual PH Vauxhall bashing, we have these threads on a regular basis.
If you want to be one of the "in crowd" on here you have to jump on the Vauxhall are crap bandwagon. To say anything else would mean you have to have a balanced opinion and didn't mind what others think of you.
PHer's are special, we are gifted with knowledge that the ignorant, council, in bred, British public don't have, we are king.
Well that's what some like to think, bless them
