In theory the facelifted ones should be slightly faster due to different cams, in reality there's bog all in it and identical really

Hmmm so not even as if the 2007 has low mileage.  Actually that's quite a high mileage mate for the year (nothing major or anything, just a little high).  For perspective my 2006 reg has just ticked over onto 11k.




I just wonder if it's the engines mate, maybes the 2007 will feel quicker when it hits 25k?

she will get the miles back over the years as she only dose about 5000 a year so dont worry about miles. I just thought same car + engine but dif lights and dash so y not same power.
only thing i can think of is tech pack , auto lights,wipers,e mirrors extra wight but shouldnt be able to feel it.

to be honest when you test drive a car it not the same feeling to owning it. i thought this is crap mine feels well faster than this but maybe when we get it i`ll be asking her 2 swap lol DDance.gif

I certainly remember an article from a good few years ago, had a search and can't find it at the moment but I'm hoping maybe some of the more vintage members can convince me that I'm not going mad P.gif
