The more adventurous<strong> \u201cSport\u201d<\/strong> version (MSRP $17,500, sport-tuned suspension, 5-speed manual transmission, 16-inch wheels, more aggressive front and rear fascias and aerodynamic flares, red brake calipers)<br \/>\n3.  The<strong> \u201cLounge\u201d<\/strong> version (MSRP $19,500, 6-speed automatic transmission, 15-inch wheels, more premium features such as a fixed glass roof, chrome accents, and other goodies)<\/p>\n<p>All 3 versions are powered by a 1.4 Liter, 16 valve\/4 cylinder MultiAir engine, making 101 hp and 98 lb-ft of torque.  This car is light, too, weighing in at around 2,400 lbs.  Gas mileage is estimated to be around 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.  <\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s more to this little hatchback than the specifications.  These cars are Italian.
