Don't really know anything about the 2.0 low pressure turbo engine, is it 4 or 5 pot? Does it have enough power to keep up with normal traffic? Any major issues with it in general?

Or would it be better to recommend the 2.4T engine for a C70?

Ive got the C70 T5.

I would say the 2.0 would be slow, as its quite a heavy car, best going for the 2.4.

5 pot. Haven't driven or even been in a 2.0t but i'd imagine that any (which doesn't seem much) fuel saving over the 2.4t or t5 engines will be ruined with you having to work the engine to get anywhere. A 2.4 turbo might be a better option for you..?

Thanks, it's as I thought then, steer clear of the 2.0 smile
