What will the 1.3L get? I bet the loss in power will be greater than the gain in MPG.

The 2009 1.3L has been seriously revised.

The engine is been marketed as a 1.33L now (funny thing the .33)

What is not funny is that the output has been increased to ALMOST match the 1.5L
The 1.3 jumped from 87hp to 101hp

That plus a new 6speed tranny and the stop/start... This car should probably be able to beat the 1.5L by a good extra 5-7 MPG with a minimal lost in performance.
