Choosing a new car...
« on: 16 June 2011, 14:20 »
and I'm stuck between the VW Bora 130 or the Seat Leon 110.

Wondering if anyone could help with giving me some performance figures after they have had a remap  :smiley:

Cheers

Bora - circa 170bhp and 300lbs ft torque
Leon - circa 145bhp - not sure on the torque figure

Go for the Bora  :wink:

Who cares!!?  It's all about 30mph +  :wink:  How often do you launch it off the lights and to be honest, what's the point?  :huh:

I had a Golf Mk4 running the same engine - ran approx 175bhp and 330lbs ft torque; overtaking was a rather simple affair  :evil:

Drive as normal and you'll get better MPG; drive it hard and you won't although I usually got 500 from the Golf no matter how I drove it; hard, short, long journeys etc etc  :smiley:
