   3 cylinders! I thought only Japanese did those.   
      
   My second car was an Ibiza. Diesel engine, 1.9 litres. 65 horses (48KW)?   
   No turbo. Mechanical injection. Drank too much. Not speedy, but good enough.

   I intended to buy another Ibiza as third car, but it was just some 15 cm   
   longer and would no longer fit inside my parking garage. The same dealer   
   sold Opel, and the chap tested the demo Corsa in my garage. I bought it.   
   Also a diesel, but turbo. Would accelerate very nicely. Around 80 or 90   
   horses (58..66 KW). I now have another Corsa, but gasoline. Less   
   acceleration than the diesel, has no turbo.
