There's been plenty of criticism of the 2014 onwards 1.2. So I thought I'd give you a back to back comparison with a Kia Picannto from the same era.
We've just had one for a week. Jeez what a pile of junk! I've never driven a car with my foot buried in the carpet for so long, plenty of occasions when I've had to put it into first just to get up a hill.
Next to nothing happens until over 3k rpm. Over that it sounds like a flymo lawn mower on its last legs.
A really inflexible engine with no redeeming features, fuel consumption seemed horrific over the 500 miles or so even though I didn't measure it.
So I'm happy with our 1.2's.
