It would be great if we could get a diesel, or 3.0 V6 Activa here.
Citroen chose not to release the economical version of the Activa here, apparently other parts of Europe could get a 2.1 T.D. They could also get a 3.0 V6 version. [:D][8D]
Although I don't think they produced an H.D.I. version of the Activa.
I would like the 3.0 V6 as the 2.0 turbo (petrol) has a thirst like one ! [:(] The 3.0 V6 has near enough 200 B.H.P which is more like it as the 150 B.H.P. in the 2.0 turbo (petrol) is adequate, but not exactly up to the standards of the improved handling, which the Activa has.
The Activa is a sports version, pity they didn't consider the engine choice for the British market more carefully.
As bikeboyz said it's a petrol Activa.
It's also right-hand drive !
So, it won't even be a version from another part of Europe.
I would have to modify an Activa, to have a better engine, or take the easy way out, and import a left-hand drive version. [:D]
