Anyone know much about the Bravo sport 1.4 T-jet 150 and 1.9 multijet 150? which would be the better one to go for ?? i know the 1.4 is slightly faster by about 1mph according too parkers guide lol, anyone driven them ? You think it would be possible to get 180 bhp with a remap on both engines?

you will get 200 from the 1.9 with a remap, the JTD engines are VERY good, I do for the diesel, many others willl say the petrol, drive both and see what you think

The Bravo looks smart in the right colour with the bigger wheels

I actually drove a 150 petrol turbo as we didn't have a grande in..
Was a nice car to drive tbh. Plenty of power and nice delivery of it too..
Look good too.. Would have had one if they did a 3 door version..

The 1.4 t-jet engines drive like 2.0litres, smooth power delivery and nice to drive.
The 1.9 16v diesels are awesome IMO, chipped up with a panel filter will be a machine. Only down side is there EAT the dual mass flywheels up and clutch and warrenty doe'snt like it  Lad at work done this to his 156, 199.7 BHP in his with de-cat and remap.

It's a shame the 1.9 diesel and 1.4tjet didn't come in the 500.. Would be a weapon!

Yeah, they were talks of them doing a small number of tjet 500's like, would be a real seller.
Panda 100's are lush too, would love a dark grey one.
