So, last week we took a right colour, right model but wrong engine for a spin. We're looking at the 1.2 (130) engine and not the more powerful 1.6 which is what we test drove. Was very impressed with the cabin and the over all drive.
My daily is a Smart Roadster Brabus (which I love) so I'm use to "stiff" suspension and this felt slightly softer sprung. The engine was pokey, but the question is what is the view of the 1.2 (130) compared to the larger 1.6?
By the time we got back to the dealer (who were very friendly and helpful), we had to get back as it was the last day of school and they were finishing early (I'd forgotten else I would have arranged to test on a different day).
I get it is 30bhp less, but it is lighter etc so the dynamics should be different.
Best,
Andy
ps Mrs Angel Boy was happy so as it is here car, major bonus
