270nm at 1900rpm, that must pull like a schoolboy.

if u wanted something u could take on gravel why did u buy something lowered! and apart from being a 4cyl fwd hatch it doesnt really have much in common with the Renault.

It was the Mrs car not something I'd want.and she liked the look of it.she became a real estate agent therefore changing road conditions and driveways became an issue.she now owns a 2010 Suzuki Vitara perfect for her job. Your right.not much in common but in a small way they are alike.

An about as appealing as one too.

surely more than 250hp from a 2.0L 4cyl turbo can be produced! The Jap performance cars since 20 years ago have been producing that power in factory trim!

Great metaphor there!

Yeah but not with that torque from that low.

Yep, I'd take torque everytime.

Also in a car that light I don't think you'd want much more power to the front, even with all the traction electronic tricks. I'm sure they CAN get more power.

So you've ordered one then!

Yes the japs have been making 200+kw 4pots for years,but in awd format, not fwd.

Anything over 250 is pretty much wasted on FWD and you end up with heaps of scuttle and no traction. Just like Toyota found out with the early versions of that stupid supercharged TRD Aurion thing they built and no one with half a brain bought.

"The extra cash ($5000) for the Cup Trophée gets you 19??? alloys, flash Recaro sports seats and a few other bits and pieces like electric folding wing mirrors, plus they have even thrown in some floor mats."
Too bad it's totally wasted money on an already ugly car!

An S2000 produces 250hp from a 2.0L NA engine, that's pretty piss-poor performance in my books, especially for the price! Probably heavy as hell too.

FWD cars aren't real cars.

Bloody hell! There must heaps of cars around that aren't real.oh, and welcome to 21st century.

The standard Aurion with 277hp is fairly horrendous! I'd hate to drive a supercharged one (on a windy road anyway).
mugenb20b,

Nah, they are awesome.

They're no L67 that's for sure. I kinda wish Scotty would come back.
