    Holds the road and won't let go. Feels safe - it's not the kind of car that will bite you if you go into a bend too fast.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    1.6 K-series will rev up to the rev limiter of 7700 and can do stupid 3 figure speeds.

    Reliability

    So far, so good. The K-series are a reliable engines, just that they can be known for head gasket problems.
