I have a 1.2 Allure, and have no problems. Drives nice and smooth on the motorway, and I overtake with no problems.
Its very nippy, and feels like it has more power than you would expect from a 1.2.
I can go down the motorway in the fast lane with no problems from the bigger cars.
My previous car was a Z3 with a straight 6 2.2 engine, and all my
previous cars in the last 20 years have been 2 litre, so I know what
it's like to drive a more powerful car.
If your a "boy racer" and try to floor it then yes you will notice the lack of power, but driven normally it's great.
I'm currently averaging 48mpg, most of that 70mph (ahmm +). MPG was lower to start with, but as I've done more miles and the engine has loosened up the mpg has got better.
