Well the engine choices in the UK are the 1.0, 1.3 (or 1.33 as it's known now) 1.4D and 1.8.

I drove both the 1.0 and the 1.3 before choosing the 1.4... the diesel is quicker to 60 by about a second, but it's deceptively quick. Gathers speed really quickly. 0 - 60 sprints feel abit laboured as there's abit of low down turbo lag, but ingear acceleration is fantastic. 30 - 50 in 2nd comes about rather rapidly.

And to top it all off, the best MPG out of all the yarii... can't go wrong with that!

It may just be a 'placebo' effect, but since installing the exhaust the power seems to come in a lot earlier, and it pulls alot harder up towards the red line...
