I have a question for you techies!
For the benefit of the uninitiated, what is the difference between BHP and engine size? I ask the question because I saw a Skoda Octavia for sale which I was tempted by. The engine size is 1.4 and the BHP is 75. Now, my little Skoda Fabia is only a 1.2 but 105 BHP. So would there be any point in changing to a car with a bigger engine, with less BHP?
One person I asked said that because my 1.2 has a turbo, it would probably be more powerful than a 1.4 in a conventional engine. Is that right? I understand a little about the internal combustion engine, but the more complex they become the harder it is for my none-technical brain to take it all in. Where turbos fit into the grand scheme of things is completely beyond me......
