Sucks we can't get the diesel version here in the US. Our version gets in the low/mid twenties. Crap.

In the US we don't get Smart Park Assist :( we get the garbage version. And they go for $35k here. We get crap.

295 NM of torque? Hmm, my first edition got 182bhp with 400NM.

Did the 182bhp not provide you with much pleasure?
