Well, thanks for the relief, guys.


edit: on a side note, anyone could tell me WHAT is that metallic sound? Cos for sure it isn't the engine, you can hear it over it...
It's the forced injection/induction mechanism (only on the 4cl turbo-petrol). I've actually started to love it because it's so unique, you don't really get that from most of the cars you see on the roads because they are usually naturally aspirated.
