Not a chance ,my new baby is perfect

The word sport should by law not be allowed within a mile of 75 bhp and an engine capacity of less than one liter.
What is sport about it? Does it mean you can run faster? Or that you'll be super fit from pushing it around?
The mind boggles what some marketing departments can get away with it.
It's like calling Mackenzie Crook Mr Universe.

Agreed but nor should it be attached to a 2.2 diesel either

I have currently two Focus cars. One is a 2.0 and the other a 1.6, I used the reg of the 2.0 in this case.

If you had snooped around more at my threads, you would notice that I bring back Focus cars from U.K on a regular basis.

I only saw it in the motor chat thread. :pac:

Those 1.6 twin spark engines pack a nice punch for a 1.6 mind you. Very revy compared to most other 1.6's.
Check the oil weekly and change the belt by the book and you've got a lovely to drive car. Although I'd have the 1.8 over the 1.6. Faster and more fuel efficient.

The 1.6 in the 147 is mighty alright, only ever driven a JTD 156, so I just presume that the 1.6 would be gutless compared to it.

This is starting to become a bragging thread, all those rare cars n all...... Yawn Yawn. The original idea was to say whether the one digit less vehicle was desirable or not. At least it hasn't become a brag brag bmw thread. ...... Yet!!

It is not necessarily all about the bhp or litre of a particular car but more so the power to weight ratio of a particular car!

The Seat Mii is a light car so a 75bhp might be sportier than......ehm.....well....maybe thats a bad example.

Anyway, remember power to weight ration is more of a guide to a cars performance than its engine cc size!

Well, obviously. But a 1 liter Seat can safely assumed to be a dead as a doornail.
A 1 liter engine could be sporty, if it is in a motorbike or mounted to a skateboard.
