More power isn't really needed, your driver license is still in danger
I was curious because I walked one that had a COBB sticker and a big front mount a few weeks back and didn't know what they were capable of.

Wasn't sure if I beat up a 120hp car or a 300hp car.

Wow I didn't know americans or texans to be so anti against cars with less cylinders. I had the previous MK7 ST 4-cylinder for 4 years and driven the new ST 3-cylinders for a month. You can't tell a difference other that the 3-cylinders ST sounds way better than the old did.

Welcome to Europe where 3/4-cylinders cars rule the markets..

Welcome to Europe where 3/4-cylinders cars rule the markets..
I don't speak for all Americans but with many of us the lower cost of gasoline then many countries and the fact that the U.S. has been building big cars with powerful V8's for many decades it's just a way of life here.

The 135i I purchased was the first car I bought that has less then 8 cyl, the twin turbos and their ability to perform like a V8 engine was the only reason I was able to get something with less the 8 slugs. I for one am more interested in a cars HP/TQ, 0-60, 1/4m, handling and weight to power ratio then the exhaust note. I like vehicles with more bite then bark but do enjoy both.

Congrats on your new ride, it does look like a nice little pocket rocket.
