They do 2 versions of the 2.0 diesel and petrol engines and both have 150 and a 190 variants but the golf r for instance is also a 2.ol engine as is the civic type r both kicking out 300+ bhp from a 2.0l engine and deffo as tharg says power-to-weight ratio is key.. Plus how it drives, Take american muscle cars they not exactly agile and the old fiat uno turbo ie was not good around bends and they often got rolled.. Fast though back in the day with a 1.3 turbo engine and they got me started on the small engined rocket cars..well after my first car that got given to me as well. A 1.6l 1980 honda accord fastback.
