Turbo dual input, direct injection, variable valve timing and full valve: technical sheet of the 114i seems enticing. But flying in hand, we unfortunately have the feeling of dealing with a block less high-tech than promised
, as he shows discrete, not to the ear! For in performance as approval, we look for the 180 Nm of torque, theoretically available from 1100 r / min. If there liveable city where his good composition at low speed and very smooth (except the control box that hooks) are illusion, this 1.6 turbo admits quickly surpassed on the road, where we frankly lack of raises for double. Fault as a staging box too long that imposes catastrophic times (27.5 s and 19.1 s to go from 80 to 120 km / h in 5th and 6th). And even falling in the fourth, he'll need 13.6 s this year! A blow to stay a very long time behind the eternal "departmental truck."

Benefits
Smooth and quiet motor
Soft suspension
Stable frame and accurate
Pitfalls of
Sluggish performance
Box closes and too long
Appetite disappointing
Lack of habitability and safety
And despite these reports very long box, the 114i is not particularly simple. With 8.4 l/100 km on average, it consumes more than an Audi A3 1.2 TSI 105 or a Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 125 hp for example. Given its modest engine, it is better to choose the 114i for its silence on board and soft suspension that the older generation had set aside. We certainly lost a little discipline behavior, without it becoming prohibitive. The remaining stable and precise 114i, and imposing a little body movement disordered that under sustained driving. Still, for a family, this series still lacks one habitable and safe.
