Yeah. Well 1,100kg is not bad I suppose. I don't expect it to be as light as the Echo (980kg) cause that Echo had 13" wheels and no radio (the idea was that you choose your headunit a la carte and there were various prices depending on whether you wanted an AM/FM/Cass, AM/FM/Cass/CD or AM/FM/CD/MP3) so I assume the weight doesn't even include the radio.

Possibly. 8.7 secs seems fast for a 115hp 1.5 litre engine. Given that ours is detuned to 106hp (I assume it's because they lowered the compression ratio so that it doesn't require premium fuel?), I'd wager it's close to 10 secs. (9.6-10.2 sec range)
