Car By Car Breakdown questions - bintang

In Car-by-Car Breakdown, HJ comments on this car that the "Slow 1.2 3-cylinder (is) likely to share probelms of this engine". What are these problems? My new, 70 hp version has done about 600 miles and the only problem I can see is that the engine is too easy to redline in 1st.

He says the drive is "disappointingly ordinary" but what more could be expected at the price? The drive is firm without the Ibiza's spine-shattering tendency. Like me, that car is staid and upright.

Subject line tweaked by PU.
