You didn't buy this car because it is slow. You didn't buy it for its tow capacity. You didn't buy it for the back seat, probably. You bought it because it has torque and horsepower and is fun to drive. For a little bit more money, you can add significant amounts of power and fun to this car. Ask around on the forum and take a ride in a tuned car. I think the sweet spot for most is hybrid turbos and a tune. 1.2bar in this car is an absolutely wild ride. That being said, a 1bar tune raises things quite a bit. I use markski, he's a good dude and won't sell you on something if it doesn't work or make power. Either way you need to sort out that misfire before adding power.

hmmm, good stuff. Again, as stated, let me sort out the rust on the hood before repainting the car.

Thanks...and noted.

Going to need one outside and a little further away. Camera mic was a little overwhelmed being that close.

Get some drive by vids when you can. Thanks for that one though.!!

How about a video from inside the car so we can get an idea of what the driver hears.
