I think it is a 0.7 liter 65 hp engine.
I had a Nissan Sentra that got 42 mpg. That was in 89 or so. I don't think the mileage is too far off at 50-60mpg.

As for Car and Driver - what a bunch of dribble in that rag.

The pure is 12k.
Passion is 14k.
Cabrio is 17k.

I know I should wait a year or so, but my wife fell in love with one we saw at a Bentley dealer, and they are in service in Europe.
