UK ones are 12Kg lighter so obviously much faster.
237 Bhp same as US or 240PS, I think there is a bit of rounding up. In the UK they quote 240 Bhp in most publications

250 PS in Japan.

An inch shorter than Australian models!(Its what you do with it that counts .
Locking wheel nuts as std over continental Europe!
90,000 mile warranty / 3 years, 60,000 miles in Europe! 36,000 miles in the US (We can use the gears without grinding (J/K)

Other bits if you are really interested.

Two obvious ones, the Jap cars are limited to 180KPH (112MPH) and come with 6 spoke forged wheels, Sat/Nav also an option.

The UK/EU ones come with a free shower facility, you can wash on the go!

We have break-led's in AU ... just mounted on the top of the
trunk (boot).

Oh... and can anyone tell me what the F__CK a PS is ?
I've been wondering this for 10 years.
PS is always quoted for motorbikes ... WHY PS ? Whats
wrong with normal stuff like horses and watts.
(i assumed PS = HP but it appears not to be true)

Reading the above posts raises added questions:
What's DRL?
Is it true Euro models have a cassette rather than CD player?
Is it true Japanese models have a speed limiter?
What's Sat?

Yes, Japan has a 180KM/H electronic speed limiter. But that can be easily bypassed for a nominal fee at most aftermarket tuning workshops anywhere in Japan.

Pre 2002 Eu/Uk models do have Tape Player. 2002 Models are coming the CD/MD Player. Sat is Satelite Navigation, not an option in Europe.

PS is metric horsepower equates to about 0.98 HP. Dont ask me whats metric about it because I havnt the foggiest
