To anyone who thinks the car is underpowered they should think again. It’s faster than a Swift Sport, Faster than the Lancer VR-X With the 2.4 litre manual! If the power isn’t enough then get it chipped! Though it’s better to keep it stock as there are not many places to unleash it. Anyone have a commodore? Max speed limit would be 100-110. Easily achieved by a car like this.

It is don’t worry about that. It’s faster than a Mitsubishi Lancer VR-X. The new one as well with the 2.4 engine. Heck it’s faster than a lot of bigger engines out there.

Damn, the rear end is ugly. Looks like a cross between an Echo and a Megane.

Compared to a Polo GTi, well, there’s no comparison, is there. Polo has a lazy 110kw form the 1.8l, add a reflash for a totally tractable 145kw, or go a bit mad with the look-alike larger turbo and get well over 200kw……

GOLFSCHWEIN I did say ‘tad’ like Astra…..Headlights and upswept small air intakes to side on front is similar (the Corolla and Aurion have similar look…upswept).

Great looker and classy.

99kW in a tiny thing like this is great!

You can’t use the old Corolla SX as a comparison to this; I mean, most of the Corolla equvalent hot hatches today make the right side of 150kW.

Only slightly better looking than its “sister car” the Nissan Micra.. but only just. Either way I’d probably go for a Fiesta XR-4 or Astra SRi

Great looking little car.

Having driven a lot of smaller cars in Europe I can honestly say 99KW will be perfect for such a small car.

It probably weights around 900kg giving it a good power/weight ratio and fuel economy to boot.

We definitely need the Clio and the twingo to hit AUS. Hopefully it wont take forever.

It would be great to see the new laguna over here also.

The 99kW factor might be to satisfy other car markets. Some countries have engine capacity limits with insurance, rego, etc. Some countries have power limitations.
