Extract from the RAC review.
"We'd hoped for quite a lot from the new 'SCe 75' unit, not only because it uses modern technology but also because it's a substantial 20kgs lighter than the previous powerplant, thanks in part to an all-aluminium block. As it is, the gains made are relatively modest, the efficiency stats improving to 54.3mpg on the combined cycle and 117g/km of CO2. Dacia could have got a lot closer to the prevailing supermini class standard if it had equipped this unit with an engine stop-and-start system, something limited to the pokier 0.9-litre TCe 90 turbo petrol powerplant that we'd suggest you try and stretch to if funds permit. That's why a 'TCe'-powered Sandero can manage better returns - 57.6mpg and 109g/km."
As an aside, I know the Jqzz will need a new CAT come MOT time. (Rust) There are advisories on the last MOT for brake pipe corrosion, play on a suspension bush and deteriorated headlights due to severe scratching (not removable by buffing with a proprietary paste).
All in all to keep it on the road will only cost more as the years pass.
