3L +
Automatic
Any ideas what it could be?

some Hyundai shitbox thing probably. When they say same 'spec' they mean things like how many doors, electric windows and air con etc. Nothing to do with engines and performance.
My similar car to a 160bhp stripped out 2.0 16v corsa was some korean 1.1 box thing, i cant even remember what it was now

My mate had his 1.1 106 in the bodyshop after someone pulled into the side of him, and he was given a V6 chrysler 300C
needless to say at the age of 18 he was more than chuffed and drove round like a PIMP for a week!

A friend of my mum's bought a brand new M-class when they first came out and it had a couple of teething issues. When Mercedes gave her an A-class merc as a courtesy she kicked up fuck and ended up with an E-Class. Happy days.
