 This used a high-compression 1272 cc engine, longer gear ratios and an early-stop-start ignition system (called SSA) that would cut the engine when idle for more than two seconds to save fuel whilst temporarily stopped in traffic, and restart the engine when the gear lever was moved to the left in neutral.The system could be enabled or disabled by means of a toggle switch below the light switch.Similar systems were later used on the Volkswagen Golf Mk3.
