its because its a 1.2.
lol na seriously does it coast no problem off throttle? (brakes sticking if not)
does it seem like its running perfect just with no power or is it running crappy?
same opinion here, i drove one a few years back when i was 18 and it was between either an ep3 or 172, i set out to get the ep3 but then decided to test a few other cars on offer and thats how i ended up with the 172, the ep3 lacked steering feel and the 172s low down grunt was much better...

climate you cant add at a later date so personally id hold off and make it a must have.
Xenons you could add (or atleast get one with cornering lights so it has the projector lamps and you can get an HID kit)
Cruise control, if its anything like the MK2's you can add it but its an expensive ball...
