More power than the 1.2.
More torque than the 1.4, and at lower rpm.
Better fuel consumption than a 1.3 diesel around town.

It's a promising 900cc 2 cyl turbo! :)

Come on Mate Even you have to at least respect the jump in technology.
Nearly 100hp / 150ftlbs per litre from a standard manufacturer car.

I remember when that figure was magical.
Still cant get my head round the 2 cylinders firing at the same time.

I'm not sure if they do Jay, remember there's 4 strokes in the cycle- while one's on the 'power' stroke, the other is probably on the 'induction' stroke. ;)

Though what do I know, now I'm out of the loop! :rofl:

Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:
