Seems a bargain price for a gorgeous looking car. (£17k list) The 2.0 is £3k more, the diesel is £4k more (ok it has leather and bose) but is the 1.8TS version worth considering?

Cheers. smile

The Twin Spark is an older design engine than the JTS, mainly in the cylinder head and intake system. It's still a cracking powerplant though and the Blackline is a stylish car. It is my understanding that the GT is now a run out model - and the Blackline may well be the last of the line so slipping the old 1.8 engine in will help shift a few. So it's swings and roundabouts really - you get a stylish new car for a good price, but just bear in mind the knock down price you paid for it in a few years when you come to swap it - it's the smallest, oldest engine, and no leather...

I don't think it's a run out model just yet. They have also only just launched the Q2 variant.
