    Quicker than you'd think, especially if it's wet. Ours goes well being 185 e4, mapped, no cat, no dpf and no egr.

    Even with all the miles on it nicci would rather drive it than her car, wish I'd spent more on it rather than a cheap car.

    If it behaves itself, then I think there will always be room in my fleet for one, absolutely love it and it's such effortless motoring, only a 163hp but did well towing a heavy car transporter with an 854 t-5 on. Got it first parking fine on that run too.......grrrr
