 just got one on demo at the dealer. 1.2 turbo petrol with "the power of a 1.4, torque of a 1.6. and economy of a 1.2"
funky looking cars and nice interior but they dont handle at all. bloody expensive aswell. just about room to shoehorn a cliosport engine in, i think.

Surely thats just a slight rehash of the clio sx?
And to be honest the clio is a much better looking car.

Soooooooo far from the concept its untrue, what a proper fucking hash of a piss ant granny trolley abomination they have created.
And EVO going on about how it would not be 'that' different from the concept' and how it would be a return to the 172/182 form the heavier and less focused 197

VW have had a 170bhp 1.4 out for a while, and a 140bhp version of the same engine, apparently it's crap.
