Is it just me?
 
:wall: Are there many more 120 owners? I feel that the 180 is getting way too much exposure here and would love to hear more from peeps with the 120. Yeah yeah, I know should 've could've but we have what we have, lets celebrate this a little.

Apparently we are quicker off the line for the first few seconds than the 180s....woop woop....er we don't have such hefty insurance premiums...again woop and er.......er......er...ah ha! we (apparently) don't have as much tyre wear and fuel consumption issues...contributions for the 120 appreciation society welcome.
:) :)

I still have my 120 and i do love it to bits and will shed a little tear for 30secs when it goes then get in the V6 and listen to that engine with a semi on LMAO

Seriously tho i will miss it when i put it up for sale at the end of the month as i have had her from new, but always wanted a 180 and FYI dont ask me why but its £50 cheaper to insure lol

Only 50kgs lighter ;)

120's or 180's it's horses for courses. I wouldn't have a smaller engined car as I have been there before and always go for the engine/car combination that allows easy driving and something in reserve when needed, the 180 gives that. If I had a 120 it may struggle in my hands and tire very quickly.

First few m's 'off the line' is down to driver reactions... :p

You want to try it in a TD, I think paddle change would be a good mod as you hit the revs so quick. It's like as soon as you put it in gear you want the next.:happy2::happy2:
