ps I really think you'll find the 150 sluggish. But, if performance isn't the main thing your looking at, then good luck with the search. :smiley:

If you can, try & find a 180 to test drive. They are loads better than the 150 (AGU engine). Besides the extra ponies, they have VVT, a better turbo (KO3s) & a 'drive-by-wire' throttle instead of the traditional cable.

Extra ponies yes :wink:, but the 150 bhp(AUM) has VVT, a KO3s and drive by wire and when they are remapped there is no difference in BHP then
