206 cc...that's only 12.5 cubic inches
Not even a decent lawnmower engine

Funny guy. CC = Coupe Convertible, actually a 1.6 liter motor.

1.6 <

107 horsepower (net) divided by 97 cubic inches works out to 1.1 horsepower per cubic inch. Not a power house but efficient.

Relax, I'm just busting your chops
I grew up in europe, and I remember when people thought the 1.6 gsi engine was the big one

I'm just playing along and finding out more about my intended purchase at the same time (educational).
