those things are optional extras for people who want that type of car rather than an out and out hot hatch.

seems to make sense to me.

the jap version comes with 220 bhp...

why the fook to stupid jap companies do that

surely they can get round the fuel differences and give the British market full blown engines....

would buy fook all jap for this reason...what are we? incapable of handling another 30 bhp?
