I had the 1.8 litre (125bhp) and of course I was speaking about turbodiesels, normally aspirated diesels on passenger cars haven’t been on sale for a long time now.

In my old 1.8 litre NC and mid-sized car with a 2 litre diesel engine would easily destroy me, especially if they caught me in the wrong gear.

Depends on the type of driving. On the motorway “a little bit” more power is useful. On a twisty country road it is irrelevant.

What? How many have you driven?

Except running costs.

Try one. You may not be converted into automatically liking it, but who knows.

I like the “we haven’t made the suspension impossibly stiff because spirited driving happens in real roads with bumps and whatnot” bit.

Have you driven one?

“rear-wheel drive isn’t totally obsolete in rally, particularly on long, fast stages.”

The last 80k in a Giulietta beg to differ.

The turbo power of the Fiesta makes it much faster in in-gear acceleration. And I wouldn’t be surprised if in outright acceleration it did too.

Hey modern Alfa reliability isn’t that bad.

Counterpoint: this classic remaking malarkey is silly only aimed at milking money from rich people and should stop immediately.

I’m not in Germany and drive faster than the posted speed limit too 😉

In straight line this is much, much faster than a Toyobaru.

We sill win.

Were we normally do 80-90 in the motorway. On two cylinders!

Although you are right it is not the size itself that is the problem, but rather everything else.

Or maybe Jalopnik is an international site and us people whi can buy these cars want to know their opinion on them.

The EB110 is almost as un-Bugatti as the Veyron and the Chiron.
