that’s disappointing.
spec sheets. Bet it's fixeable with modern OEM+ upgrades though.
But the C20XE <3. Old fart and pink specs at work, but what an engine. Punchy, driveable, efficient. Fritz Indra has become a bit of a grinch in old age, but he really knew his stuff.
Trouble is when I drove it in the 2010s too, 150bhp no longer felt that special, so it didn't even have that in its favour.
Think low attrition of the normal cooking version vs the Golf is what does a lot of this too.
As many a kitcar will testify!
Might be disappointed now I guess.
