Cause you like their styling?

Cheap meaning you can buy one for R100k now and it'll have less than 45k on the clock. Also must naturally come with a 1.2l or smaller engine!

Cheap city cars you like that unfortunately have little ****ty engines and you wish they came with 1.6-2.0l engines as an optional extra... Or at least a 1.4l turbo...

I wouldn't mind either;

A red chev spark or a facelift yaris.

Would list the Punto but iirc it has a 1.4l engine as an option so...

Chev Spark....kots.

Little Engine does not equal ****ty engine.

Problem is little engines normally comes attached to ****ty cars.

Ford's Ecoboost 1litre comes to mind...superb motor, wrong price.

Ya I know but that car is expensive as fukk - small efficient powerful engines are the future yadda yadda whatever.

The point is here to find a small little car that you like the styling of, but it's a small ****ty engine.

The Chev Spark with a 1.4 Turbo would be serious fun to drive...maybe a little scary.

A Hyundai i20. A 1.4 turbo or A 1.6 would be nice...

Sadly this will only be getting a 1.0T with similar specs to Fords 1.0 ecoboost.
i30 will be getting a 1.4T

Oh and i own an i20 crdi.
That's a 1.4 turbo :p diesel... slow as hell lol

I already seen a few Citi Golfs with V6 engines in Chatsworth, and 17" Chrome mags blasting Snope Dog from a R30k sound system.

Is the diesel really that bad? I have a 1.4 petrol at the moment, was considering finding a decently priced CRDI. What's your fuel consumption like?
