130bhp iirc

My mum and uncle both had them and they were good little runarounds. Harsh ride but nippy enough.

Come with little subs in the boot too.

What model are you looking at, pre-facelift or facelift? Apparently they changed the suspension for worse in the facelift so there's much more body roll

I looked in to one of these found a few people saying they have VVT problems, and other saying they are cheap for a reason typical fiat buld quality etc...

For the money though every other hot hatch will be similar quality imo i'd give one a go.

Nah the Bravo HGT came with a 2.0 20v 5cyl with either 143bhp or 155bhp. Always had a soft spot for these. Sound the nuts
