Turbo petrol engines - used market?

    Not sure how many people like buying these cars used...I think they are quite rare generally in this country? I had to put a special order into the manufacturer for Ireland.

    I have it now, V. happy but 150bhp just isn't enough, after having driven a 192bhp for a while a few years ago.

    I respect the rules of the road but that oomph really makes a difference that's worthwhile often.

    thanks

    Nearly all three cylinder petrol engines these days are turbocharged but I doubt that's what you meant

    that's cool - just talked to the dealer and they sell quite a few petrols even though it's predominately diesel up there.

    no probs then - just planning ahead here
