Must say that the GT cloverleaf that I've got while they find fault with my car has disappointed me. Looks great, nice cockpit, but its the 1.8 and totally lacking in grunt! |

I've heard (mainly in here) that some of the early 2.0 JTS engines put out way less than the 165 horses that they are supposed to, some are even lower than the 150 that the 2.0 TS. Mine is one of the first 2.0 JTSs, so I was quite prepared for this GT's 140hp engine to be as quick as mine, but its nowhere near - 5th on the motorway from 50mph up to (ahem) 70 takes way way longer and there is much less torque. I guess I'm pleased really IYSWIM! I can't complain about driving a car with my initials and a little cloverleaf on the back for a few days though!! |

Figured another year for £2300 was cheaper than getting a new car. Now running a 159 that costs me £400 a month in loans. -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

On the plus side, the car doesn't pull slightly left any more and the steering wheel is straight when the car is straight, also speed bumps don't squeak any more either (Thought that was old shocks, but was the old 'play in bushes') The GT looked good, but its nice to have mine back! |
