HI All,
My first post and I'd like to say I have searched this great forum for a buyers guide but couldnt find one, infact I found a post asking the very same thing and the replies said there isn't actually a buyers guide but to post away... so here i go.
(I have done a bit of research on 'the web' but need confirmation from the experts) but excuse my total ignorance)
I have about 4k to spend and have decided on a pterol 2.2 or 2.0T
1 - Am I correct in saying the 2.2 is naturally aspirated about 150bhp (no turbo) and the 2.0T about 170bhp (has a turbo) ?
2 - I do fancy the 20.T i guess it will have slightly worse mpg than the 2.2 (not that it matters as I will be doing less than 10k a year)
3 - I know there is Design, Elegance and Elite models, is it worth going for Elite as far as i can see the main difference it has over the other two is COLOUR stanav, climate control and full leather and the full fancy rear centre console with fridge and other funky bits?
4 - I've read (unles i dreamt it) the 2.0t engine is built by SAAB and has a chain instead of a 'normal' timing 'belt' - is this true and what is the major advantage of a chain over a belt? I gues it still needs changing/tightening
5 - Is the 2.0T 6 speed?
6 - Some websites say the car is ISOFIX ready, does this mean it HAS the anchor points built in (so i can clip in and go) OR do you have to buy them at extra cost and fit them?
Ummmm i thinks thats it for now, thanks for anyone who replies and again apologies if the above has been asked a million times before, i did search honest.
cheers
