    All good doesn't bother me, I'm pricing the car for delivery to have 300Hp at the wheels. Was just checking to see if it had the same new 2.5ltr as the SP25...
    the SP25 has become a SP20 with a 2.0L sky-active engine
    also, are you getting a turbo/intercooler/exhaust upgrade with that? getting 300hp (225kw) out of a stock turbo would take a fair bit of work...
    17 psi with just intake/DP gets ~205, 15.5 psi with intercooler/DP/intake is ~215kw
    even people who have put 18psi through their engine with a turbo upgrade are only just cracking 300hp

    actually, looks like the SP20 is a new model, whilst the SP25 continues with the same engine

    Well mine was producing 260hp atw at 18psi and wasn't running FMIC or DP and other small things, I had the boys tune mine to preserve the motor so shouldn't be a problem, I will do a couple of things Col as done because when we tested his in brisbane a few weeks back he had 230kwatw...

    Looks and sounds the goods but i wouldn't buy another mps.

    It hasn't been a bad experience but there is no point beating the same trail again.. Something drastic would have to change.

    2.5 without turbo or 2.3 with turbo...

    Same Jmac, the MPS has been enjoyable, however come end of lease in 18 months time I will change.

    Think I might try and fill my desire of a quick station wagon. Perfect for bikes etc.

    seems a rather neutral response based on what it's given you
    and much like andy and justin, i'll be getting something different for next car
    it'll definitely have a better gearbox

    Agreed 100% here. Next car will be something quite different, although the Renault dealership I drive past everyday mocks me with the Megane RS parked out the front...

    When they update the 3 to Shinari design its gonna look porn.
    Then all they need to do is shed a few kilos and it will be as sharp as the renault.
