1.6 benchmark

if i were looking to buy a car, i may just stay away from bigger engines.......

for the record, there are 1.6 litre engines that can hit 200 hp so why should you pay more for road tax and insurance......

consider the fact that a mini cooper S JCW will give you 211 hp at a big premium..! and how about its french cousins?....... citroen @ 160 hp?, peugeot  @ 200 hp for the RCZ manual........

so when is the japanese going to respond to this? for now, they have killed off the civic type R, going to kill the evo X and god knows what will happen to the STi.....

i cannot imagine...... OUCH...
