All the car experts dismissing a brand new £7k car when they are probably driving around in 52 plate Polos

Well he is the one laughing as he got a great car from VW group of vehicles. What car do you drive that is so superior?

Remember when the Kia come out? We all biaaatched about that & look at the prices now!!
So I'm going to test drive one soon & see how it goes. I frankly don't give a damm what others thing! I do need a new motor soon but don't want to pay out the price for this for a two year lease that I won't own afterwords

tinted windows would be nice, at least you wouldn't be seen driving it

Hope my neighbour buys one. :smile:

isn't 1 litre a bit small for this size vehicle

many new and larger vehicles now have a 1.0 turbo engine ... mind you 75hp is very 60's Vauxhall vivaesque

This would be like driving a coffin.

It seems a lot of large vehicles including VW group cars are now down sizing there engines to 1.0L. This Dacia previously had a 1200cc engine but this new 999cc is slightly more powerful.

0-60 tbc presumably if it ever gets there!

Can't see these being fuel efficient you'd need to floor it everywhere to make do 30
