Then you've also never heard of "Corsa" and "Desire" in the same name

To be fair the HR13DDT produces some pretty decent power for a 1.3 - also used by Nissan, Renault and Mercedes. Albeit it is pretty rinsed out to produce that power which it will remind you of if you are pushing on at fast motorway speeds, etc. it'll manage sub 10 second 0-60 times on fairly chunky SUVs in some cases as low as 7 seconds.
This 1.3 doesn't run out of puff really - if you are the kind of person who happily cruises at or near the speed limit and gets up to speed reasonably quickly but not briskly it is fine, if you drive a bit more spiritedly and like to push on then it will remind you it is a 1.3 - working hard and hence drinks fuel but does produce the power.
I have to say if you've got 25K to spend I would not be looking at a Duster - kind of fun basic car if you want a workhorse but there is a lot better.

The RX-7 was a 1.3I never knew “Extreme “ and 1.3 could go together
It also had the mpg of a V8.
I think they were only a 1.3 due to a technicality with the way engine capacity is calculated.
