In Car-by-Car Breakdown, HJ comments on this car that the "Slow 1.2 3-cylinder (is) likely to share probelms of this engine". What are these problems? My new, 70 hp version has done about 600 miles and the only problem I can see is that the engine is too easy to redline in 1st.
He says the drive is "disappointingly ordinary" but what more could be expected at the price? The drive is firm without the Ibiza's spine-shattering tendency. Like me, that car is staid and upright.
Subject line tweaked by PU.

Been snapping their timing chains. More in the Polo entry in cbcb. Will duplicate in the Fabia entries.

Ugly beast compared with the Mk. 1 - not that I am prejudiced of course. :) :) :)

It is in complete contrast to the usual girlie, smoothed-over hatchback. The snout is not dissimilar to that of the new Volvo C30. I wonder if this is something to do the search for a with good pedestrian safety rating.

Ugly beast compared with the Mk. 1..
I agree... similarly unbiased. ;)
The new estate looks better in my opinion. I didn't think there'd be an estate as I thought the Roomster had taken on that role.
