Fiat 500 TwinAir, is it Fun to be Fuel efficient?

The Fiat TwinAir engine, is a 2 cylinder 900cc engine turbocharged to produce 85hp. That might not sound like a hell of a lot, that is because it ain't a lot, but that does not mean that it cant be fun. Fiat has developed this engine to produce more power in a smaller capacity engine, using its TwinAir technology which wastes less fuel and ups the horsepower output.
This could mean that Fiat has made downsizing fun? Yes it does this car is both fun to drive and sounds like it want to be a full blood racing car when it gets full revs. It can return around 54,9mpg (24,4km/L) with manual gear-shift. I think this is a brilliant engine which makes a fun car even better with the fuel consumption, and helps to make Fiat set yet a new Co2 record for the lowest producing Co2 fleet in Europe 2010. I cannot wait to see them develop this engine further and use it more widely in it's group.
