You need patience with a 1.9D - I`d say it`s ok to the general public, but

not to most of the folk on this group. The TD is rather quicker. AVM says

it`s as economical, but IME that`s not actually true - it may be on a

cruise, but it encourages you to be a bit more leaden-footed and you pay for

this. Still not too bad though.

OK, someone into the frogmobiles enlighten me?

TZD models were turbo diesels, the second one has a TZD badge on the C

pillar.

Apparently the 1.7 TZD has a 1.8 engine from what I`ve read.

Why at least wouldn`t the second one be a turbo diesel?

I`ve got a feeling TZD didn`t neccessarily mean turbo diesel. The T in a

badge on a BX certainly doesn`t neccessarily denote a turbo, it`s more like

a trim level, I think. But I`m really not all that sure.

They`re both turbos - it says so! Doug`s point was that they didn`t put the

1.9TD engine in the BX! And btw, the 1.7 and 1.8 engines in the BX are

exactly the same size - they were just referred to as both.

Title: How do you see other people's cars?
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:31:18 +0000
Author: Foxie

There are two main groups of people: those who know cars, and those who don’t. When it comes to judging the cars other people drive, the slants of these two groups really couldn’t be any further apart than they are. Either you care, or you don’t; it’s literally as simple as that. And while there are many, many subgroups within the “those who know cars” group, I really don’t feel like getting into it all here. (Right now, anyhow. Maybe another day.)

Those who don’t.

Just as with the “those who know” group, the “those who don’t” have subdivisions as well. The ones I want to pick on, though, are the ones that don’t know cars but still care. These are the bread and butter of my entertainment when it comes to cars. This group is famous for:
