    Why do more and more people these days think they can buy old used cars with lots of miles then go to court the day after because it doesn't do the same as it did when it came out of the showroom?!!!

    Well it is not as simple as that arcon5, i am not expecting a 20 years old car to have full power but what i am saying is if the engine was tired and broken then that is a problem

    Anyway double check all and engine seems ok

    Tires and broken are completely different. Tired = wear and tear.
    My comment is really directed towards to masses of threads around here of late, not necessarily yours. Point is of all the complaints about used cars recently, I can recall just one where the buyer potentially has a good case.

    Is it faster than an AUDI A3?

    Depends which bumpers it has fitted.


    In this case, I'm willing to give the OP the benefit of the doubt on this dark matter, however. 'Joined in 2012' just doesn't fit the profile.

    I think it will be with 280 bhp stock and potential to go to 1000 .

    or cheap mods to 500 which will be the same as lambo

    Depends on which model you have and which engine it has. There were less powerful ones available with strangled emissions.

    You dont seem to answer any of the questions about the actual engine.
