As a matter of interest, those of you expecting a new car in August have no chance, unless you placed your order in January.

So..... what about consumption for the 125 and 155? Is there any difference? Im interested for 155 manual but i am afraid the big consumption because here in greece the liter costs 1.8euros!!!! I am a normal driver but sometimes i like the speed!

I've had my Vignale 155 for for 5 weeks and completed 300 miles mostly short journeys of less than 20 miles. It's way better than my previous 125 St-Line X FE. More power/torque which means less gear changing which could mean improved mpg but it's too early for a comparison. The engine has a deeper growl under acceleration and I think the brakes are more powerful. Both cars have 18" wheels so maybe the pads or discs are different. There seems to be more stopping power. Tried sport mode and it's a big wow. Feels more like a 1.6 to 2.0 litre motor. Tried the slippery mode in the snow a couple of weeks back and it's faultless as was the 125, this despite the extra power. The Vignale has full leather seats which are cold first thing so the heating elements earn their money. The massage seats are a revelation and have a number of options to suit most tastes. I need more time and miles to assess the car further but already I'm more than happy to have made the change despite the long wait.

Hi, Welcome to the Forum..
There isn't any significant difference if any in the MPG for both variants.
Individual MPG is affected by many different conditions, including your driving style.
Fuel here is around 1.61 Euro at the moment, but, doubt that will last before going back up to levels of a few months ago.

I haven't found any difference in mpg but performance wise the 155 is the better car.

Are there any hardware differences between the two engines? Or is it down to the tuning?

I read somewhere that it’s a bigger Turbo. Can’t remember where though.
