  1. How many horsepower is that? The 1.6-liter gasoline engine has 180 bhp, and the electric engine gives the car a total of 265 bhp, but it can only pull 1.6 tonnes. I thought they were going to stop using diesel engines.
  2. Now that's a lovely colour in the sun, and the metallic red is an interesting contrast.
  3. that seems to make sense what colour do you have in mind. I ordered the dark night grey, but the amazon grey looked nice, but in the light it was a greenish grey, while the dark night is more like a blue grey.
  4. The recent tyre replacement/repair discussion, which was luckily closed before someone told us tyres were our sole touch with the road, hinted at a problem that has yet to be rectified. The "best tyres go in the back," as the old saying goes, and since "best" is usually understood to mean "newest" and "most tread," this is generally accepted as good advice for driving in rainy conditions. Despite the fact that this was seemingly dismissed by all other posters in the discussion, I find this suggestion believable, having "lost the back end" of a couple of FWD cars due, I THINK, to lift off engine braking in slippery situations. To add insult to injury, I was once a passenger in a Commer van (not exactly the most stable looking vehicle) that busted a rear tyre on the A1 and no one noticed until the remains caught fire, so I'm not entirely convinced by the official advice that a rear tyre blowout is more dangerous than a front one. Extremely challenging to extinguish. This is problematic since best tyres on the back (which is valid) contradicts with best bust on the back (if valid), making a decision more difficult than it has to be. Moderators, please be assured that I am not trying to get around the ban on discussing whether or not it is preferable to buy something brand new rather than something previously owned or repaired. I want to bring up a certain question I have. Opinions can be somewhat informative. There is more value in actual experience. The Holy Grail would be citation of reliable sources. Even though it's highly technical in nature, I filed it under "discussion" because that's where it originated.
  5. The misting is the most annoying part, but I, too, plan to get one of those magical mist-sucking bag thingamajigs after using my own for a month.
  6. The dealer is correct about the window gaskets, but I've never seen the mirrors move or retract unless I manually operate them in the pas
