'Our' smart is a 3 cylinder turbo'd engine, 700cc with 80bhp, no problems around town, but it needs to driven with revs .... like a motorbike to get anything proper performance out of it. And the thing it desperately needs when you're on the motorway is torque. You almost always need to knock it down a gear when on a long ascent (6 speed automated manual)

That new renault captur has a 900cc in it.

My first car, a Mini, was only 848cc.........

Reminds me of the three cylinder engine in the Corsa,  sounds like a good idea, lighter engine etc

But I have seen a fair few gubbed after their owners forgot they had bought a shopping buggy and not a car 

Probably ok as a ''wee car for the wife''

I bought an Uno many years ago for swmbo and it was great around town but struggled on long runs etc   4 cylinder 'Fire' engine if memory serves

Thought this was a service item - no oil and filter change, just replace the engine
