Figures look impressive. No doubt very fast in-gear times.

A £1200 premium looks a lot over the petrol. Probably worth it for people doing 20k miles a year.

i wish they would do an s verision withe pug 1.9 td that is agreat engine

So much for it only being £500 more (the rumour I heard) but I do 20K plus a year so might be worthwhile.
Not sure how the 15 inch wheels will handle all that torque. I struggle for grip often in my current petrol Cooper under hard acceleration.

you need to get yourself some proper size rims....!

I like my wee wheels not into the "road roller" look

If you do 20k per year it would be worth getting the diesel. Go easy on the extras though!
