Posts: 1,684 Thanks: 96 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Bravo 115 HLX 'Abarth' how do you find the 115 after having HGT's in the past. I started with a mint 147bhp P reg HGt that I bought cheap, the noise of that 5 pot is what got me into coupes N/A and later turbo's. I used the HGT on and off as it became my girlfriends car, other than mpg it was faultless stylish, apart from an interior which looked like it came out a 1.2. It was so civilised and effortless in a diesel type way but with such an engine noise and yet still fast enough when pushed... ![]() Ps your car looks ![]()

Posts: 322 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Bravo 115 HLX 'Abarth' The difference is night and day. The 1.8 has a bit of poke but nothing compared to the HGT. I had 2 147's and my second one was my favourite car I've owned. As you say the 5 pot noise through a custom exhaust is such a good sound, I used to get compliments about it all the time. I'm not really a fan of the coupe's, more down to the shape than anything. My dad had a 20VT and that didn't half shift! I'm not far away from graduation (2 months ![]() The engine is so limited for modifications it's untrue. I read about getting about 150bhp out of it but with major engine work, may as well buy a HGT lol.

Posts: 1,684 Thanks: 96 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Bravo 115 HLX 'Abarth' yeah must admit the coupe styling is love it or hate it but ive not found too many who dislike them, never had a car that i get so many comments and looks, must admit love the bravo's. My mate now has my old HGT and keeps it as a second car, if it wasnt for my alfa 156 jtd id buy it back.
