1.6 VTi (120 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Adequate for city driving, but the 4-speed automatic transmission significantly hampers acceleration and responsiveness, making it feel sluggish.

Fuel Economy

Fuel consumption is acceptable for an older automatic petrol, but higher than manual versions, especially in urban conditions.

Best Use Case: City / Relaxed Cruising

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Stylish coupe-cabriolet design with a retractable hardtop.
  • • Good range of engines, including economical diesels and punchy THP petrols.
  • • Enjoyable open-top driving experience.
  • • Compact size makes it easy to maneuver in urban environments.

Cons:

  • • Limited rear seat space, making it a practical 2+2 rather than a true four-seater.
  • • Very small boot capacity with the roof down.
  • • Early THP engines can suffer from reliability issues (e.g., timing chain, carbon build-up).
  • • The 4-speed automatic gearbox is dated and impacts performance and economy.
