Powerwise just the exhaust at the moment it just has the lousy 1.9 105hp engine and after coming from a 200hp hot hatch its taking a bit of getting used to but it was bought for the fuel economy which is great. hopefully when my circumstances change over the next 12 months and i dont need it to commute as far i can look into sticking a 2.3 or 2.8 6 pot in it | | | 12-29-2013, 11:53 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | That would be nice, as long as you don't expect it to be fast it will do just fine, I got mine a exhaust and some other small things, thought it might make it faster, nope! then I was frustrated, but once I remembered that it was still a M44 and just to have fun with it as it is, it was a lot easier to enjoy.
