Message	3 cylinders, turbo-diesel, 40 hp, and it's a 6 speed. It costs me about $13 CDN to fill up the tank(good for 350-400km). 75 mpg(canadian) the manufacturer claims. It fairly peppy too considering the low power. I cruise on the highway's at 130 kph all the time, and it seems to irritate the hell out of other driver's. More space in it than you'd think too. I can stuff 2 hockey bags in the space behind the seats. Anyway, great little car. Handles really well in canadian winters. I think it's only a matter of time before everyone has a little commuter car like this.
