The 1.4-litre petrol engine gives similar performance to the diesel engine on paper (a 0-62mph time of 16.2 seconds and a top speed of 96mph) but doesn’t feel half as nice to drive apparently.

The problem is that it only develops 87lb ft of torque – and torque is by far the more important figure in everyday use. The engine struggles as a result and has to be driven hard to get reasonable performance from it. This means that the fuel consumption suffers; Fiat reckon that you can get mpg but 40mpg is much more likely.

The diesel engine is much more flexible and economical and is the engine to go for in the opinion of most of those who have driven the car with both engines.
