Uprate my 2ltr
I have a 2ltr 2008 softtop and was wondering if there was any upgrades to the engine performance that could be done. Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the car but just wondered thats all.

Not any that are worth the outlay
If your keen on any noticeable performance change buy a six cylinder

Don't get a 2.2i, 6 cylinder though, all you will get is worse fuel consumption with no extra power gain!

Hey. The 2.2 is a lovely engine and yes it's a bit thirsty but the sound and power delivery is just sweet.......
