    More power?

    put a 1.6 16v in it, they look identical so no one will know, theres 110bhp and more torque to start with, if you really want, filter, exhaust, manifold and remap will probably give you 120bhp, still never going to be fast though

    What car do i use to commute?

    thats why i wouldnt bother with a petrol as a runabout, my mrs gets same mpg as my 172 in her 1.6 16v dynamique+ however dci mpg + £35 a year road tax + 150lb/ft of torque makes for happy cruising!
