DaveTheDog Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ford have some work to do, to take the 0-60 crown away from this old skool Charade. http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/daihatsu/charade/?section=specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfriel2 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The Charade GTti was a proper car... the engine was fantastic and easy to tune to 140bhp. Car weighed not a lot, but you wouldn't want to crash it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The additional 300kg the porky pig Fiesta is having to haul around is not helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeMk1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Maybe if ford had Turbo'd the Fiesta like Daihatsu did with the Charade, it might have been a contender for the likes of the Charade or the Renault 5 GT Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheDog Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 The 1.0 is turbo'd. Ford claim that the "140 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost is the most powerful 1.0-litre volume production car engine ever" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeMk1 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes I know the new fiesta is, but not the old ones the same age as the charade and R5GTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I still like my little Mini :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeMk1 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 A proper mini I hope, not these BMW wannabes! I had an awesome mini when I were a lad, a 1275GT with a Metro turbo engine. Surprised a few show off's at the traffic light Grand Prix's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
