my 2.0 really isn't all that bad. it is much stronger than the 86-93 model 2.0s and 2.2s. when i was a kid i had a 65 mustang fastback with a 302. i got pulled over so many times i finally decided that going fast just isn't where it's at. haha. i mainly just want the diesel so that when i pull up to a show with a mini that is rumbling with that diesel sound, it will turn some heads. because come on, how many old school diesel minis do you really see out there. haha.

i get anywhere from 25-30 mpg right now, well when my tranny was working. haha. which is one reason why i love driving it all the time. my 04 f150 gets like 15. haha. sucks!
the only thing i don't understand is why in the hell is diesel so much more than gas???
