Revs nice, quite pokey. Normal trouble with them is people don't notice water leaks developing.
The main problem is the K has a low coolant capacity so it doesn't take long to run out of water and hence then causes headgasket failure.
Gearboxs are known to have input shaft bearing problems.
I had a 1.4 and did 60,000 miles in it pretty much trouble free.
