I'm looking forward to driving one of these and see how they drive. I think it's a fantastic idea, and we'll be seeing a lot of small-capacity and turbo-charged engines in the next few years.

It looks... Alright, I suppose! The interior looks lovely though.

I too would be doubtful of its econess... The 1.6 a class I had as a courtesy car was struggling to break the 30mpg mark and that was econess sart stop hug the trees.

there will be no tree hugging here.

it looks very long and I don't like the wheels.

Need to get the badges off the back and the stupid dagenham motors sticker off. I dont really want to spend any money on it other than a set of mats and some chrome indicator bulbs.

I imagine it will actually be good for commuting motorways, I drove one of those Fiat 500 2 cylinder turbos the other day, was amazed how well it picked up on the motorway in 5th. And managed 75mpg on the motorway, although the average from it being used round town was 36mpg.

They are my worst nightmare. Lots of spokes awful to keep clean.

I much prefer the 18'' wheels off the titanium spec, but they are £££'s.

125-150 brake from a 1 litre car engine.

They should build an eco boost V8.

575 to 700ish bhp in a rwd Mundano or fergus would be really lovely


There is an ecoboost V6 pushing out 365bhp and 350lb/ft...
