Better off spending some £ on the handling then going big on the power. Once you get rid of the bargeness then add some horses.

they have plenty of grip, i loved the engine very refined and modern feeling.
But its still one of the most uninvolving cars to drive.
Id own another, but if its handling thrills your after, then search elsewhere. If your after a very well made, awesome looking roomy hatch with a fair bit of poke and alot of potential then get one asap.
