Impressive figures from a modern, economical 1000cc engine... but don't think I'd be happy spending the cash on one for a long term option or buying a used example a few years down the line. Might be an old skool way of thought, but a 1.0 engine (turbo'd or not) pulling around a ~1300kg car for 50, 60, 70k miles will take it's toll quicker than an equivalent larger capacity engine would over the same distance.


Cheers,
