1.8i (105 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The automatic transmission further dulls the 1.8i engine's modest power, resulting in less responsive acceleration and a more relaxed driving experience. Suitable for unhurried city driving.

Fuel Economy

Slightly less fuel-efficient than the manual version, particularly in stop-and-go traffic. Expect higher consumption figures, especially with a full load.
