1.6 (106 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

While offering the same peak power as the manual 106 Hp, the automatic transmission dulls acceleration, making it less sprightly but more convenient for urban traffic.

Fuel Economy

The automatic gearbox slightly increases fuel consumption compared to its manual counterpart, but remains reasonable for an automatic in this class.
