Pics of my sport hatch - I picked it up Thursday. 18" alloys, Irmscher rear spoiler, driver control pack (cruise control, reverse sensors, hill start assist, tyre deflation detection), electric folding mirrors.
Straight swap for my 1.8 Tigra Sport, which I bought in December and got a full refund on because of problems with it.

0-60 8.3sec
It also has tremendous torque! Mid range pull is great!

0-60 is impressive, but not its strong point.

I was debating whether to get the 2.0 (170) but there wasn't to much difference.
2.0 (170) was 0.4sec quicker 0-60 and 0.2sec slower 30-50. Plus insurance was £350 cheaper on the 1.9CDTi and fuel economy based on 10,000 was was £300 cheaper.
So the choice between gaining 0.4sec or saving at least £700 a year... I went for the saving. And I do not regret my choice. Just got to remember to put Diesal in the Tank!!!

I'd have never have chosen Green, ever! But I was in a dealership and they had one in the showroom and it looked smart. I was going to go black but everyone goes black so I thought I could have a very dark green (mistaken for Black at night) and be different or just have the same car as others. I opted to be different, more unique.
I have had a lot of comments on the colour already and the 18"s help set the car off too.

With Hill Assist Control, the system detects the wheel or wheels that dont have grip and applies traction control until grip is found. Crucially, the wheels with available grip are momentarily braked until sufficient grip is found for the slipping wheels, allowing the driver to pull away without loosing control.
