not as fast as my berlingo

mpg not as good as my berlingo (31mpg as opposed to 45mpg )

What happened to your car then briggie??

I can't remember whether I had the 1.2 or 1.4 turbo petrol, but it was gutless unless bouncing of the rev limiter. I ended up handing it back after breaking something accelerating on the motorway.
I love company cars, I hate small petrol turbos.
