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.
