its a very good engine, very very reliable, and a 1.0 12v is not faster, only at the top end is it slighty quicker

An amazingly good engine. Will last forever, in theory, very strong, and can handle a right good pasting.

Depends on the context really:

Performance and economy is shite. Reliability is second to none.

of course its a crap engine, fair enough it doesnt miss a beat, but its dreadfully underpowered and comes with crap fuel econemy not helped by the fact to actually just keep up with traffic when town driving you have to rev the tits out of it lol.

Reedy's 1.0 12v was faster than my 1.2 8v.
Shit engines, as sjj said, underpowered to the point of being dangerous.
