It's more bragging rights than anything. Is it the 113 bhp 3 cylinder? Under 10s to 60 and a turbo suggests it's perfectly useable.
In the real world these turbo petrols tend to feel far quicker than not only the engine size, but also the power rating, would suggest. Driven 'normally' the boss's Roomster 1.2 TSI (105hp, 1250Kg) gives the impression there's more under your foot than there is in my MX-5 (130hp, 1000Kg).
My own prejudice, also irrational, is more against the 3 cylinders. I am conditioned not to take them seriously.
