Jumbo-Box - a large air-conditioned storage box with adjustable outlets for air distribution to the rear seats.

Me either! How much does the 120d have as standard?

The 170 is 256 standard and they claim 313 with the Bluefin map.

On an 07 plate it wont be a common rail. The latest ones within the last year probably are CR 170's.

Far from it, handle well and pull hard. Interior is also a nice place to be. We were gonna sell ours, only car that came close to performance and value for money was another VRS. Theres a reason so many people onhere are buying them

to be honest in the real world there isnt much in the 143 CR and the 170 PD as the power delivery is much better in the CR
