I learned how to drive in 2 Brazilian-made Chevrolet Corsa, one was a '98 4-door hatchback and the other one a '01 sedan (for the Corsa B the sedan bodystyle was only available for Latin America, Africa, Middle East, India and China), and both had the 60hp 4cyl 1.0L 8-valve engine. Since it had a worse torque than the 3cyl 12-valve European Corsa, it had to be mated to a lower differential ratio. Therefore 5.5L/100km became impossible here
I've already considered to privately-import an European driveline to retrofit into the '01 sedan before my parents got divorced and my mother kept the car for her.
And my grandma had a '05 4-door Corsa, also Brazilian-made and again with a 4cyl 1.0L, this time with 71hp due to the higher compression ratio, but the torque altough closer to the European 3cyl was still slightly lower
