Best part of 200bhp in something very light with an incredibly well sorted chassis, limited slip diff and all the toys +45mpg when cruising makes for a lot of every day fun. Made my T5 feel like bit of a dinosaur and apart from engine note, I struggle to see the point in big engine, thirsty cars anymore I must admit though, I'd be surprised if it ran half the mileage my T5 will do. The compression ratios on these smaller higher power engines must be pushing the physical capabilities a fair bit - To be fair though, we live in a world of finance and lease cars now - Why does it have to live longer than 5 years when they just swap it in for a new one?
