Moderator's Note:
This is a spin-off from an off-topic discussion of the Euro6 issues; I think it's sufficiently interesting to warrant its own thread.
So, the 1.2 500 is now seven years old and essentially unchanged since launch; most would agree it has charm and character by the bucketload, but is it still competitive?
You decide.
Try a 1.2 Swift; that's what a modern 1.2 is capable of.

And when it is moving from say 10 mph upto 70 mph (don't really go any faster than that)
it is a great engine pulls well sounds good, you couldn't ask for much more from a 1.2 engine.
