There is absolutely no turbo lag - the result being that the driveability in the city is beyond excellence. I just have my doubts on the 68 bhp being good enough on highway runs.

i really doubt if the fiesta beats the accent CRDi in performance ...imean

firstly, we have 1.5cc engine as compared to a 1.4 of fiesta
secondly, 82bhp to 68 of the newbie
and TORQUE, 19.1 t0 16 of the duratorq....

i guess the specs arent too convincing to beat the former....but definately are GOOD. i do agee tht it scores big time where interiors n looks are concerned...
and YES the fiesta does hav a nice butt

all in all it is a good package to go at....unless the accent makes some serious facelift plans....
