Blimey, did think it wouldn't be the most inspiring thing in the world. I checked out the mpg afterward and you're right, it is pretty diabolical. And weirdly expensive to insure too, I can't work out why but equivalent diesels are just so much cheaper, about 40% less in some cases for much bigger engines.
I grew up in 240 estates, can't help but hanker for my own even if it is a banger

Urgh, with a side helping of double bland.
They are secretly a mitsubishi charisma I think. The 1.8 direct injection petrol engine is tye mitsubishi one and I think the one to avoid (gutless and loves fuel!), the other petrols are volvos own engines and are a bit better.
Diesels Im noy sure, I thought they were maybe old Renault engines, Def not vw in that one.
As ar runabout car they do well, way better finished than the carimsa, drive like a slightly more modern car but nothing special. Although would say the older v40/s40 prob do better than the Ford focus based ones from 2005 onwards when the milage gets high
