There is even a MGF which is getting a KV6 and I've considered the same for my T16 maestro.

1.6 turbo diesels seem to be the current trend
mega boring

Ive driven the A3 1.4 TFSI and is is unacceptably slow. I honestly couldnt live with it on a daily basis. And im not just saying that because am use to a 180. Most of my driving is motor way, and anything over 60MPH and it's imposible to overtake. And it was a fortune to run because i constantly had my foot planted to the carpet.

Not for me. Especially at £17.750 OTR

In total contradiction to everything i have just said, and with reference to what Ritchy was saying about turbos. We have an A1 1.4 TFSI in our range and it has 185 bhp and i must admit, its a right laugh to drive and surprisingly fast on the open road. Would be quite cool as a second car if it were cheaper.

Quite impressive getting 185bhp out a 1.4 even if if is turbo charged & supercharged. What is the general opinion on superchargers, given the F.O.C choice what way would you go for the Zed. Think the supercharger sounds much better than a turbo.
