Oh O/K  :eek: Most of our European Members with petrol models have 1.4 and 1.6 cant think of many (if any) with 2.0 Petrol ..up til now  :cool:

We used to only have 2.0 petrol and 1.6 Diesel but they recently introduced a cheaper 1.6 petrol model over here....

According to the European Community Forums For the Police (E.C.F.PO.), these are 2.0 petrol.

No doubt is good for pursuits, especially when compared to the shabby Citroen Xsara's 1.4 90ps :wink:

Actually they seem to be very happy about i30s.
I'll try to translate some words which recurring in the posts: "very beautiful", "fast", "flexible", "very good choice" etc.

On Feb.2010 (before the announcement of i30s) someone wrote: "No more Citroens! they are not appropriate for police cars. We want something fast, durable and inexpensive"

"polizia" is in Italia. Here is "astynomia" (from asty>town and nomos>law). That's ancient Greek...
