Just the 1.5. It is all we get. I'd love to be able to buy a diesel.

Do you know if this is the motor the hybrid has? Because as much as i know the hybrid doesnt have an otto motor but rather an atkinson motor, so the 1.5 litre may be performing even worse than the 1.3 sold here?

It is the same engine, but not the same motor. There are massive differences on the 1.5 that is not hybrid compared to the one that is.

Our 1.5 is more powerful than the 1.3, but I am not sure how much so.

Standard is the 1.5 1nz. Doesn't need a drastically larger engine as it would add weight. Just needs a more aggressive tune imho. Adding just 15 hp to the wheels makes a wonderful experience.

Out of curiosity, is the 1.5 1nz that we have here in the states, the same one they use in the Vitz Cup racing? I was wondering that because considering the engine application it's used for (economy car), the 1.5 1nz has a pretty high compression ratio if I recall. 10:1 I think is what it was and the car really seems to come alive at the high end of rpms.

Reminded me about a 4-cyl non-turbo rental car we had in Italy. It navigated twisty roads well (up to Ravello), but when we took it on part of the Autostrade.....I remember keeping it floored and getting passed by Mercedes and BMW sedans as if we were standing still.
