Turbo petrols

Cork981 · 2016-05-07 20:37:22

What's are people views on turbo petrols ? They are becoming more and more popular. I've recently order an Astra K 1.4t with 150bhp. I've drove an Astra j 2.0 cdti 165 the last year. I look forward to the smoothness and fun of driving a petrol again. I've never drove a turbo petrol but I'm interested in what people think…

They are becoming more and more popular.

I've recently order an Astra K 1.4t with 150bhp.

I've drove an Astra j 2.0 cdti 165 the last year.

I look forward to the smoothness and fun of driving a petrol again.

I've never drove a turbo petrol but I'm interested in what people think of them ? Will they become a thing of the future ?

I do less that 12k a year by the way.

Turbo petrol, like the 335? Forget about getting a small petrol engine and putting a turbo in it. Get a large one and put 2 in lol.

I put 200K miles on 2 X Passat 1.8T, 150 BHP back in the day and absolutely loved the power delivery, so smooth and plenty of torque... the car would be shifting along swiftly but you never felt like you were gunning it.
