After a need for small engined Automatic arose.. the options soon became pretty focussed
Budget wasnt vast..and summer 2021 was a poor time to 'buy used'
Car is a 2015 1197cc 4cyl petrol on 45k
Runs pretty strongly.. its a revver..and has a buzzy exhaust note
100 miles in now.. it is definitely not a 'Handling..or poise' build
Seems competent until you push
Im comparing it to a 10 years older
GM _ FIAT Chassis with 85/75 petrol/diesel turbos
Fuel economy is so far 'o.k.'..only @5 miles at normal motorway speeds
Next 24 hours will see another 110 of motorway
Interior.. nicely finished.. good cup holders..etc
Random arrangement of buttons.. and a Cruise stalk that infuriates
Got the Front RADAR to pile on the ABS once too
Pics and updates to follow .
