I love the sound of the 1.5 3 pot, much better than the characterless 1.5 4 pot it replaced.

Although admitedly, it's not going to beat the sound of a V6.

      Hello all.   I've just ordered an st line x 1.5 182 auto hatch in magnetic grey with convenience pack, delivery hopefully early July.  When I get it I'll write a review.   Went for

      Yes, it is slow to go in to reverse. It takes a second.   Trouble is these days you don't actually drive the car, you just make requests to the computer and it decides wether to let you. May

      Autocar clocked their long term test 182 (manual) at 8.9 secs. I've always thought 0-60 pretty meaningless, in-gear acceleration figures are a better indication of real world performance, overtaking a

    Just booked my ST-Line 1.5 150BHP for superchip on Monday. Hoping it’s going to make the difference. They say 47BHP gain 😁

    Having looked at the website , I would suspect the Torque gain of 63Nm at 2500rpm is going to make more difference

    I got Bluefin back in March for the 1.5 182 auto, it’s great so much better should have come like this from factory. Wheel spins 3rd 4th and 5th when roads are a bit greasy. Much better low down torque 30mph - 70/80 is really quick great for easy overtakes. Turbo blow off sound is a bit louder too got to love those turbo noises. I fully recommend the Bluefin.

    I have the st line x 182 and I'm pretty happy with the performance as standard. Glad I didn't go for the 150. Had the 1.0L 140 in a fiesta so didn't fancy only Extra 10bhp in the bigger car.

    Havent acctually seen anymore of the st line x's on the roads near me, so it seems to be pretty rare at the moment 

    Same here, performance is great in sport mode.

    Just buy the 150 bhp and get it remapped.

    http://www.superchips.co.uk/search?make=9&fueltype=3&model=2&variant=3213

     

    So, six years later (!) I've bought the 150bhp, and thinking of the Superchips remap. Did you feel the increase in torque? Any change in mpg?

    TIA
