Car Choices:
Originally, a 2.0 with 115hp is the only engine option available; worth considering if you want more speed. Honestly speaking, the 100hp 1.6 launched in 2003 is more suited for city trips and although not blistering fast, it is more relaxed.

1.6 models get 15 inch wheels, airbags, ABS brakes, fog lamps, power door locks, power steering, power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, CD player, and keyless entry. 2.0 variants gain leather upholstery, six disc changer, an optional sunroof, and stability control (made standard in 2003).
