Which version to choose

Same-name versions are split by the numbers in the data, not by invented trims.

Lightest / smallest: 1 generation 1.1 MT (61 hp) is 730 kg kerb and 1152 kg gross — 373 kg lighter than 3 generation 1.6 AT (140 hp, 9.3 s / 1103 kg). It is Manual 4, 61 hp, 97 Nm, 0–100 14.2 s, top speed 143 km/h.

Most power: 3 generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT at 140 hp / 167 Nm. Fastest 0–100 is 1.6 MT (140 hp, 8.5 s) at 8.5 s. Highest top speed in the whole line is 2 generation 1.6 MT at 190 km/h, 10 km/h above any 3 generation 1.6.

Most torque: 2 generation 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT Diesel Turbo, 240 Nm. Mixed mpg on 1.5 MT is 4.7 l/100 km, 0.8 below the most economical measured gasoline mixed (5.5 on 3 generation 1.4 MT 11.5 s / 183 km/h).

Lowest measured gasoline mixed mpg: 3 generation 1.4 MT (108 hp, 11.5 s / 183 km/h) 5.5 l/100 km, with highway 4.5. That listing is also the lightest 3 generation car at 1050 kg. If city/highway/mixed must be known, do not pick 1.4 MT (108 hp, 12.0 s), 1.4 AT (108 hp, 12.5 s), or 1.4 MT (108 hp, 11.5 s / mpg not measured) — those three have mpg not measured.

Automatic vs manual on 3 generation 1.4: 1.4 AT uses Automatic 4; 1.4 MT uses Manual 6. The slowest AT listing is 13.2 s and 170 km/h; the fastest MT listing is 11.5 s and 183 km/h (1.7 s and 13 km/h). Mixed mpg on the measured AT is 6.4 versus 5.5 on the measured MT (0.9 l/100 km more).

Automatic vs manual on 3 generation 1.6: both use 6 gears (Manual 6 / Automatic 6). Mixed mpg is 6.9 (MT) vs 7.1 (AT). 0–100 spans 8.5–10.5 s (MT) and 9.3–10.0 s (AT).

2 generation gasoline vs diesel: 1.6 MT (112 hp) matches diesel peak 112 hp but only 145 Nm vs 240 Nm. Diesel 1.5 MT mixed 4.7 vs gasoline 1.4 MT (1085 kg) mixed 6.2 (1.5 l/100 km more on that gasoline listing). Diesel kerb is 1160–1170 kg, up to 100 kg above 1.4 MT (1070 kg).

1 generation if you want an automatic: 1.3 AT (64 hp) is Automatic 3, 15.9 s, 145 km/h, mixed 7.8. 1.3 AT (75 hp) is Automatic 4, 13.7 s, 159 km/h, mixed 6.7 — 11 hp more, 2.2 s quicker, 14 km/h faster, 1.1 l/100 km less mixed.

1 generation manuals named 1.3 MT: 73 hp is the quickest of the three (13.7 s, 159 km/h). 64 hp is 14.1 s / 150 km/h. 60 hp is 15.5 s / 153 km/h with mpg not measured and 1324 cc (the other 1.3 engines are 1323 cc).

Ground clearance: 1 generation 160 mm is the highest; 3 generation 140 mm is the lowest. Tank is largest on 2 generation (45 l).
