Brodie Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Don't know about a flat spot but the 1.2 entry engine is fairly gutless. Either of the 1.0 turbos is a better bet, especially the 120bhp but I believe that's still only available in upper specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 We’ve got one, it needs some heavy foot on slip roads etc but in these eco days that’s about par for the course. Does great mileage though and after 4 years nothing but a couple of tyres and brake pads replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unico1 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 We bought ex demo with 1600 miles, it’s the premium nav I think really pleased with it, yes it’s no speed machine but where can you stick your foot down these days with amount of traffic/ lights around. When we were looking just seemed a lot of car for the money compared to our German competitors. Sales guy said they were selling 80 cars per month at that branch. Would I recommend.... definitely.

I took it out today for a run about,and to be fair its pretty good,for a 1,2 engine its quite nippy really suprprised how well it drove,at the moment i like it,not going to win any races but its fine for my needs.
