I used to have the 60bhp 1.2 in my old mk2, and it was a great little engine. My mk2 went surprisingly well for that low output, the engine was very much upto the job, and gave good economy.
Likewise, I now have a 77 bhp Grande 1.4, and again, it propels a relatively heavy car surprisingly well, the economy is good even with the climate control on. Like Super Uwe, I have also noticed it's low geared, but it seems to hit the sweet spot of keeping the car responsive whilst still being economical.
