I'm green with envy
Went to order one last week only to be told there's a 3 month waiting list so I aint put my name down yet. I'm definitely having one for my next motor though.

144 lbf-ft is right not turbo in this game ....... but its the way you get the 144 ft as this was the same as my 1.4tdi polo.......
totally diffrent tho ..race sound , handling as u get the power in every gear at every rev once you get used to high revs .... just gets better ..
and 215bhp is about the same power output of a basic scooby turbo with is like 18k or so so is cheap power really

"but it's the way you get the 144lbft..."
You mean revving it past 6000?
...well, it's "hard work" having to get it up there and keep it there, but then you not only get that torque, but a supreme power push as well (as after all power = torque x revs in this game). And it's still got it in spades down to 3000
So a little of column A (
) but mostly column B ( :p )... I see how it flies now!
(( who said 144nm btw?
thats... eh... about 108lbft? ))
