Was following one of these wannabe fast saloons last night, didn't get a chance to smoke it, but did have a huge giggle to myself.

Its the rear exhausts, they are pathetic. If you don't pay too much attention they look like 04 S2000 rear cans. Get a little closer and you can see a piddly little skinny exhaust inside the can. Its actually really obvious when following and looks ridiculous. Looks like something a 17 year old would do to there Nova.

I hate fake tacky stuff on cars, and to think that this was the choice of the manufacturer - they should hold there heads in shame

 

Typical Jorno when the mps was first featured in Autocar it was tagged to be an EVO & Subaru KILLER

 

it gets worse

the run out Toyota T-sport is supercharged

and I think one of the twin exhausts is fake

 

Fake chav twin exhausts are soooo silly. Its really funny watching the chav corsas with one working and dirty and the other clean, wobbly, and not even remotely symmetrical to the other!

 

 

The MPS is a 4WD 250BHP understated car. It's not in yer face like scoobs. A great sleeper. No-one would think that it packs a punch.

 

How much does it weigh?

Anyone know the 0-100mph, would be nice to know what it does, I would have though 16-17 secs.

 

IIRC, it has a Haldex clutch & is not really a sporty drive. Most disappointing reviews.

Mondeo or X-Type drive better.

 

It's kerb weight is 1665kg and it's 0-100mph is 16.4 secs...so not a bad guess, moff.

0 to 60mph in 6.6 seconds. No quicker than an S. More CTR Performance than EVO performance.
