Not exactly that way, it's been mostly a matter of lack of options due to a market that had been closed to competition.

Maruti Suzuki Celerio, this one specifically is fitted with a 3-cyl 1.0L gasser

Almost bought one.

Fantastic economy.

Peppy in traffic.

Only problem is the rear seatback is too upright for long trips.

Since the previous generation it's been a strong seller in Uruguay.

A vw polo would not have any problems keeping up with traffic. Especially if you get the 1.6 diesel. The rating is about 60 mpg. With some effort you could do better.

I presume you mean Imperial MPG instead of U.S. MPG. But anyway, the Polo with the 1.6TDI engine seems far from underpowered.

3.6 l/100km on some models.

And you are right, after reading through the thread, i forgot the title.

The 1.2 tdi’s also do well but they are not underpowered either.
