Hi all, I am thinking of changing cars. I don't know why. Just want a bit more go if you know what I mean.
After a while you just get used to the power of the car.
So I think I want to stick to a stilo but a abarth version

Question is this
Is there much of a power difference
And are they more trouble than the Jtd

Cheers for your info
 
Hi!

Never had the privelage of driving a JTD, i can only assume it is nice to get some miles for your petrol fill up!

On my 3rd abarth - first one 5 dr - sold because it is just ugly (no offence to 5 door owners), secone one - clutch went, £2100 cheapest quote where i was but im sure people on here would have helped me find cheaper - current one, typical power - lots of torque and so on...

all i can say is its £148.50 for 6 months tax, £75 to fill up and because i do motorway miles everyday i manager to get around 400 for a tank full....

the gearbox has its small niggles at first, jumpy and bumpy on cold start etc but it is a lot of fun if you can deal with the usuals!

:)
 
never had an Abarth, tempted though!

personally, i'd give serious consideration to either an ECu remap or something like that to boost your JTD power, or get a 150 MJ and remap that??
