Normal driving does it rev and drive fine? If your in 4th/5th and floor it does it pick up well?

yeah - theyre not the most powerful car or torqey so if youve got 2 biggish blokes in a car going up a steepish hill im guessing most small engined cars of this type would go slowly

Define bigger, a 1.4 SPI would just bolt in, but will still need ecu changing and maybe the loom.

Plus the gearbox.

But a 2.0 will just bolt in....
