SWAMBO got one of these and I have to say I am imprrssed - it was actually the company car from the salesman at the
dealership who handled the deal and he kept going on about how this was the best engine for that car.
Now, after driving it a bit, I can totally understand why. It has power when you want it to (yes, it is not so much, but 150 are respectable for that car size) and it is economical on the road.
The cylinder shut off turns it into a 2cyl car when cruising and that is probably more economical than the 3cyl 1.0.
She took it on the first long work trip yesterday and averaged the claimed consumption on the road(!!!)
I can totally understand why they cancelled this engine on this car - it was for sure hurting sales of other models in the group, Leon included.
