If you find out what the spec is let us know, you'll probably get a better deal than us in the UK!

Its 0-60 in 8.2sec, slower than thr 1.5T CZT

Its going to start at Â£14,500 or Â£15,500 I belive.

Just buy Auto Express, has all the spec and line up in there.

Yeah, Auto Express okay.

But Rob lives in S.A. was wondering whether the spec will be different,
e.g. Interior spec, standard equipment.

It might be slower than the Colt, but we all know the potential of the 1.8t!

Cheers though!
