(G) Bravo Sport T-Jet 150 vs. Multijet 150 comparison

Hi,

I have now driven both T-Jet 150 Sport and Multijet 150 Sport. My original review of the T-Jet is here:

Ok, so I did a test drive with the MultiJet 150 today.

Compared with the T-Jet, it has a little bit more torque but it has some shortcomings. The torque is mostly present between 2000-3500RPM, so you have to change gears often. The gearbox is more rubbery than that of the T-Jet, the clutch a little bit heavier.

The cabin noise is noticeably higher in MultiJet than in the T-Jet. The car feels heavier (and it is about 85Kg heavier). This also translates in a slightly worse braking performance.

The MultiJet has the torque and the fuel consumption on its side. But the T-Jet seems much more refined. The whole driving experience is in my opinion better with the T-Jet. And as a result, I ordered it .

Cabin noise noticably higher? All the noise in mine is from the tyres - and that drops to nearly nothing on a good surface.

Fine choice if i may say so

Hi,

Indeed when you are cruising at 1800RPM cabin noise is ok (not if you compare it with the T-Jet though), but at idle and when you accelerate the noise is way more than I would like.

However, I have driven VW TDI, Megane DCI 1.5 and Peugeot 207 HDI and the Fiat's noise is lower than all of those cars (thanks to the good insulation and rigid chassis). I think the noise is normal for a Diesel engine.

As said in previous posting overall it is quiet and crusing on motorway/autostrada etc is very relaxed in the Multijet also with the multijet you will always get 50 mpg not so sure you'll get that from the T-Jet??? Multijets always have loads more torque than petrols as well - did you try the new 1.6 120bhp multijet lighter at the front end more economical and not much given away in performance and mega fuel consumptopn as well as low tax...worth a thought???

Not when your looking a sports trim.
