Problems and reliability

Common faults, reliability ratings, service intervals and recall lists are not measured in this catalogue set. Eco class is not measured on every version. The data that is present for chassis is the same on all listed cars: Independent, spring front, Dependent, spring rear, Disc front and rear brakes, RWD, tank 50 l, clearance 121 mm.

Which version to choose

Choice here is only by the numbers in the table: there are no prices in the data.

Lowest listed power: 1.2 MT (65 hp / 48 kW), 1197 cm³, Manual 4, torque 95 Nm (the only Nm figure). It is also the only version with 0–100 22 and top speed 140, and the lowest mixed mpg figure among those measured (7.7). Kerb 950 is the highest measured kerb.

Lightest measured kerb and 92 fuel on a small displacement: 1.4 MT (70 hp / 51 kW at 5000 rpm), 1438 cm³, kerb 870, gross 1400, 0–100 20, top speed 150, mixed 8, fuel 92.

Highest measured top speed and quickest measured 0–100: 1.5 MT (80 hp / 59 kW at 5000 rpm), 1481 cm³, 0–100 18.5, top speed 165, mixed 8.2, fuel 92, kerb 875, gross 1410. The other 1.5 MT is 75 hp / 55 kW at 5800 rpm, same 1481 cm³ and same Central injection (single-point or single- point); 0–100, top speed, mpg, weights and fuel grade on 1.5 MT (75 hp) are not measured.

Two 1.4 MT rows: same name, same 1438 cm³, same Manual 4 and RWD. 1.4 MT (90 hp / 66 kW) is 20 hp stronger than 1.4 MT (70 hp) and uses Central injection (single-point or single- point); its 0–100, top speed, mpg, fuel grade and weights are not measured. 1.4 MT (70 hp) is the one with the measured performance and 92 fuel.

Four 1.6 MT rows: three share 1592 cm³ — 100 hp (Central injection), 104 hp (Carburetor), 110 hp (Central injection). 1.6 MT (108 hp) is 1608 cm³ and Carburetor. Peak among 1.6 MT is 110 hp / 81 kW. 0–100, top speed, mpg and weights are not measured on all four.

1.8 group (1756 cm³, Carburetor, 118 hp peak): 1.8 MT (114 hp) is Manual 4. 1.8 MT (118 hp) is Manual 5 and 4 hp stronger. 1.8 AT (118 hp) is the only Automatic (3 speeds) and matches 1.8 MT (118 hp) on power and displacement. Performance, mpg and weights are not measured on all three 1.8 versions.

If the only measured 0–100 and top speed matter, the data points to 1.5 MT (80 hp). If the only measured mixed figure that is lowest matters, it is 1.2 MT (65 hp) at 7.7. If the only Automatic matters, it is 1.8 AT. If the only 5-speed Manual matters, it is 1.8 MT (118 hp).
