Which version to buy (the short answer)

Buy 1.8 MT if you want a Speedster with a Gasoline engine, Manual 5-speed gearbox, and RWD, and you accept that fuel use, tank size, CO2, eco class, gross weight, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured.

Buy 1.8 MT if you want a Speedster with a Gasoline engine, Manual 5-speed gearbox, and RWD, and you accept that fuel use, tank size, CO2, eco class, gross weight, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured.

Do not look for a second TF 1800 in this dataset. pokoleniy is 1. modifikaciy is 1. The only exact name that will match a modification page is 1.8 MT.

What that name buys, in numbers that exist here:

There is no “extra money” version in the table: no automatic, no extra displacement, no second power figure under the same name.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

1 generation ran 1998-01-01 to 2001-12-31. Body: Speedster. Versions in that generation: 1.

There is no restyling row and no second generation to compare. You cannot pick a later TF 1800 for more power, a different body, or a different gearbox from this catalogue. The start and stop dates of 1 generation and of 1.8 MT are the same: 1998-01-012001-12-31. Production window and version window are identical.

Arithmetic on generations: 1 generation ÷ 1 version = one car, not a family of cars. Year-to-year change inside 1998–2001 is not measured.

Same row, rest of the powertrain as labelled:

If two TF 1800s ever shared the name 1.8 MT, this catalogue would split them by horsepower. They do not: one 1.8 MT, 115 hp.

Ratios that decide the buy

These are arithmetic on the given numbers, not extra measurements:

No boost is the forced-induction label. There is no turbo or supercharged sister to trade up to.

RWD with a Front, transverse engine is the layout in the row. There is no FWD or AWD 1.8 MT in the data to prefer for weather or simplicity.

Manual 5 is the only gearbox. There is no automatic TF 1800 here, so “which gearbox” is not a choice.

Performance and economy: what is measured, what is not

1.8 MT acceleration: 9.5 s to 100 km/h. 1.8 MT top speed: 170 km/h.

Economy:

You cannot rank 1.8 MT on mpg against another TF 1800 because there is no second version and no litre/100 km (or mpg) figure at all. A missing consumption number is not “this car uses no fuel”; it is not measured.

Speed arithmetic that stays inside the data:

If 9.5 s and 170 km/h are enough for a Speedster of this mass, 1.8 MT is the version. If you wanted a quicker or faster TF 1800 from this list, there is no other row.

Dimensions and weight: what you can and cannot compare

Item1.8 MT
Kerb weight1100 kg
Gross weightnot measured
Ground clearancenot measured
Fuel tanknot measured
Wheelsnot measured

Payload = gross − kerb cannot be calculated: gross is not measured. Range cannot be calculated: tank and consumption are not measured. Ride height and tyre size cannot be compared across versions: wheels and clearance are not measured, and there is only one version.

What you can use: 1100 kg kerb against 115 hp and 160 Nm, as above (~9.57 kg/hp, ~104.5 hp/t).

Chassis labels that come with that mass:

Front and rear spring type match (both Independent, spring). Front discs are ventilated; rear are labelled Disc. There is no second brake package in the data.

Which version to choose: decision using only these numbers

1. Name: the catalogue version to specify is 1.8 MT. Not a paraphrase, not “1.8 manual” as a different SKU.

2. Body and years: Speedster, 1 generation, 1998-01-01 to 2001-12-31. If you need a closed body, another generation, or a year outside that window, this model line as given does not supply it.

3. Powertrain fit:

4. Performance fit: 9.5 s / 170 km/h at 1100 kg. Specific output ~64.0 hp/L. If you were comparing two petrol 1.8s, that litre-output and the 9.57 kg/hp figure would be the tie-breakers; here they describe the only car.

5. What extra money cannot buy in this table: more hp, more Nm, another gearbox, another drive type, a restyle, a second generation, measured mpg, a measured tank, measured wheels, or a measured clearance. Those fields are either a single value or not measured.

6. Reliability / problems: not in the data. Do not infer failure rates from 115 hp, 160 Nm, or 1100 kg.

7. Practical buy rule: if Speedster + 1.8 MT + RWD + Manual 5 + 115 hp / 160 Nm + 9.5 s / 170 km/h + 1100 kg is the car you want, this is the version. If you need a number that is not measured (mpg, tank, CO2, eco class, gross weight, clearance, wheels) before you buy, this dataset cannot close that gap.
