Not enough, slow as a week in jail. Drives nice, step up from a 1.2 16v, big step down from the mapped 1.5 dci it replaced but it was cheap and does 50mpg!!
There's a few good engines, 1.5 dci is a peach, 1.2 tce is good and the 1.6 tce in the rs is great, or at least the 220 is!
They ain't that heavy tbh, the non rs is the same weight as a 172 and the RS is 60kg lighter than a 197!
Begs the question why it has no poke with 220, then. Depends what you’re comparing it to I guess.
The 220 has no poke? What are you compairing it to? Lol I've found its savage compaired to the previous generations! Massive step up especially in low to mid range torque, the way it slingshots it's self out a bend at 2500rpm you would need a 197 up past 5500rpm to match and a few gears lower probably!
I like the idea of it but I've had 5 visits to the dealer and still don't have working electric windows, I don't fancy trying to get a new gearbox off them ?
Im not so sure, my mates just traded his 200 EDC in after it got a new box under warranty for making horrid crunching noises during changes! not a chance im willing to take voiding the warranty on a 1 year old 24k car lol a job for when its out of warranty!
Then there's the other side to that coin, a chap is running hybrid at 285ft/lbs torque and has been for over 3 years.
