I had a Killed In Action Sportage lol the 1.7 crdi a few years back, only 114hp, but, it kinda suited the vehicle. (The only reason I initially got the car was due to friends family discount, £5k off list If I remember rightly)

But, I did grow to love that car, would pull the dick off a chocolate frog, but had enough to do what it needed to do. Low down grunt with little lag, and the spec was mind boggling... For the cost of it, it was a fantastic car. Point being the engine suited the drive... It was a radio 2 listening kinda car.

And for someone that was brought up on the chemical brothers and the prodigy, I initially thought I would hate it, the opposite happened.

Having said that if they had done a 3.0d I'd of bought it
