bozfeller Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Hi Neil I just bought a 2.3. What do you think of the performance? Thirsty but not fantastically quick! Mine is an auto and doesn't seem too keen to accelerate hard. Might be just me. I had a 2.8 which was very quick, but different beast altogether Bozfeller Quote
insider Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 I had a 2.3 manual - pretty unresponsive unless you use the gears and screw the engine! I should imagine with an auto box the engine is dampened even more? Had 2 diesels since (only 115s) but what a difference! So much torque you get excellent response even in the very high 6th gear. Not quite a match for the 2.8 but cenrtainly wouldn't be spending as much time in petrol stations. Quote
