"Surprised"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing of as yet.

General comments?

For a 1100 engine I am surprised of the performance this car has!.

The car is quick from 0-50mph and I even hit 115mph with three people in it.

The fuel comsumption is brilliant.

Recently put shell optimax and have noted a slight improvement in performance and mpg.

Handles excellent with minimal tyre screech in corners, considering how light the car is.

The sporting models have a close gear ratio which means a constant changing of gears and high revs.

I would recommend this car to all ages and looks very good when modified.

Hi I find 115 MPH very hard to believe with 3 people in so your claiming that has the same top speed a as 1.6L 16V Renault Scenic which has double the BHP and weights about 400 KG more I don't think so.

Hi there, I did hit 115mph, although it did take a while! 0-50 mph would keep up with 2 litre cars.

I have modified the car which might of contributed a little to the performance, ie exhaust, etc.

Sounds like you Want a race? would be much obliged with your Renualt.

Hi, its nice to hear such enthusiasm for a little car, I have been thinking about buying one myself. I just thought you should probably have your speedometer checked, or check the size of wheel you´re running, because the most powerful production seicento, 1.1i, is only capable of 93mph (see any official spec list), so even with an ideal load, perfomance air and exhaust tuning and a long steep hill, I can´t imagine your car could eek much past 100mph!!! dream on dreamer...
