Hi All,

Not sure if this kind of post has been already posted, but I’ll ask anyway 😂. 

How good is the 1.0 Ecoboost 125 in automatic gearbox form.? What’s the performance and economy like.?

Thank You,

Liam.

    Iv'e had my mk4 for six months and 3,000 miles, It the best car iv'e had, its nippy and a joy to drive. At the moment i'm getting about 40 mpg (true figure) on mixed driving which is better than the mk 3.5 six speed manual I had before.
