I don't think the curb weight has been officially released yet. I'll be surprised if it's sub-1900 lbs though. Our market gets beefier bumpers, sound insulation, and more airbags, so probably mid-1900 range is a better guess.

I'd love to try the 1.0L version of this car, but it's probably not going to happen. Several Irish reviewers have said they prefer the 1.0 to the 1.2. But a Romanian reviewer said he's never been so fearful as his time spent piloting such an "underpowered" car.
