And to think that our short lived Ibiza managed 115bhp from 999cc! Admittedly assisted by a turbo... Our (2002) MINI Cooper also had 115 bhp from memory, and that was a normally aspirated 1.6. My father has never had a car with an engine larger than 2.5 litres I don’t think...both BMWs, one an E34 525i and one an E61 525d. Both with around 170 bhp. But that’s progress...his A3 manages 150 from 1.5 litres (with a turbo of course)
