Hello Malta :wave: Nice place to be in the world.

Here is a link to a review. The 64bhp engine is the same as the SEAT / VW unit and has good torque and pick-up. Avoid the lower power 6v unit.

I drive the 1.2 12v 64bhp and its by no means sluggish (standby for replys from all vRS and 100bhp 16v fabia drivers ). Its a cracking little motor... as long as your good with your gears great fun can be have with it.

Jst get it rolling in 1st then soon as uv got it in 2nd let it have it... it'll fly away with you!

What can i say 100% thumbs up from me.... but get one out on a test drive and try for yourself.

Any questions PM me

Welcome to Briskoda. I was based in Malta at RAF Hal Far then RAF Luqa a few(!) years ago and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Isn't there a 40mph max speed limit on the Island?
