All the models are bullet proof just a matter of choice: 2.5i 174 bhp - 170 lb ft - 35mpg
2.5si 220 bhp - 184 lb ft - 34mpg
30i 230 bhp - 221 lb ft - 31mpg
30si 260 bhp - 232 lb ft - 30mpg
I chose the 2.5si same as the choice of the auto mags. Gave best all round performance power/mpg. Ive just done 4000 miles around Europe returned 34 mpg, did it last year in my 200 bhp Lotus only returned 26mpg plus could never get the windows de-misted in the rain! :wink:
