I have just brought a T5. It is comfortable, quiet and quick. I can get a decent, high 30's, fuel return but I must use the throttle in a very gentle manner to get it. On my 6th tank to tank refuel and I average 30.5mpg so not the most fuel-efficient car I have ever driven but then it does get to 60mph in a little over 6 seconds, and I do love to give it full throttle when I can, brings a smile to face every time.

BSR are working on VEA tuning... According to the below, they are claiming to take T2s (as well as T3/T4) to 236bhp at stage 1.

Hardly surprising as they are basically the same engine, but still. If you bought a 2.0 T2, you'll be getting more than 100bhp power increase from a single tune! That's pretty awesome.

Smile T2 r design 2017

Bought new in December
Christmas pressie to us

Went for the manual with the bigger engine

Very smooth and comfortable, way better than focus
Also very quiet apart from road noise
Done about 8600 miles and returning about 48 to the gallon on mixed driving
Long run pushes about 50 plus

Loving driving it
Nearly as good as my last V40 1.9d sport 2004 which we had for 9 years

I presume these are the 2.0 litre engines. Has anybody found a reliable tuner for the 1.5 litre T3 engine?
