I'm looking to change at the moment and I've been looking at the Leon K1 or a e90 330d totally different I know both take my fancy though.
It's quite a heavy car compared to the others in it's class, but it's a very underrated car and remove the 1st and 2nd gear limiter and have it mapped and they go very well, a friend was gutted when he turned up in his Focus ST which was also mapped and he didn't stand a chance
If you look at the spec and performance and what you are actually paying I don't think it can be beat by much really.

^ that's what im thinking,some nice exaples on ebay at the mo, if I had the money I would get the mk2 mps and me being me it wouldn't stay standard for long anyway.
what are the standard internals like for handling more power ? I heard they were forged even the crank ?
