Ask an expert

I want to buy small car like Hond Fit, Suzuki swift, Nissan Tiida. Most of them are 1.3 Engine. Can the car with 1.3 Engine be suitable for long distance run? I need to travel long distance (~120 km) at least once a week. Sometimes (rarely once in 6 months) I might need to drive 300 km. Will it be alright to buy car with 1.3 Engine? If ok, Which ones would you recommend?

Hi there,
Small engines in small cars are perfectly fine for travel, you will just need to keep in mind that they might struggle on hills etc if you carry a few passengers and load up with luggage. Mazda Demio/2, Suzuki Swift, Toyota Ist and Yaris/Vitz are good.
