Punchy to say the least. Well impressed. Just looked at the specs and it does look impressive. I would be wary of a 3 cylinder 0.9l turbo charged engine pulling almost 90bhp though. It's an awful lot of work from a diddy engine. To put it in perspective I have an Octavia 1.9l TDI that produces similar bhp that's done 180k miles with nothing spent on the engine except servicing. Doubt you would get that from the Clio. |

Doubt you would get that from the Clio. I disagree. 89bhp from a 900cc turbocharged petrol engine is no great shakes, Honda have been doing 100bhp per litre for years on non turbo road car engines. And as for bike engines... Whether it will get to 190k miles is another matter, there are many other makes of car that I'd put money on to do 190k. |

A wise man once told me ......" Buy the same car as those driven by Taxi drivers"
If it's not plated , then don't buy it.

Fiat have done something similar with their 500, Lawrie, in the same boat as you, find it hard to believe these small engines can produce this HP and torque
