Hi all,
I have been visiting the forum for quite some time as i am about to order my 500. I have decided everything.. color, extras, trim level.. everything.. and i was sooo close to place the order for a 1.4 sport 500 as i felt it's more of a "complete" car compared to the 1.2
However, as the fuel price goes up (and everything shows that it will keep getting higher) and as i read that FIAT is close to present its new 900cc (105bhp) petrol engine in Uk some time in July i posponed the order until late summer in case there are any news about it.. This engine sounds as a good combination between fuel efficiency and power in my opinion.
Yet, i have some questions... how do you think a 900cc turbo charged engine will perform? 2 stroke engines were known for their noisy an unstable run..
If i am not wrong, VAG uses for its TFSi technology similar solutions and there are many people (at least here in Greece where i am located) problems regarding their motors..
I wonder if the wait worths.. but as rumours say that this 900cc unit will replace both 1.4 and 1.2 (only Abarth will be 1.4) engines i guess it has to be a good one
Any opinions?
Thanks
