I can tell you why i some persons don't buy 215 hp model, at least in portugal.

First of all it only has 215 hp using gas of 100 octanes or plus, not available in portugal.... so you'd end up with about 195, 200 hp at the most.

Second everyone knows this model (215) eats more fuel than 155 versions, and in portugal fuel price factor is very important, one liter costs approximatly 1,8 USD 8yes, 1 liter and not 1 gallon!).

Third factor when i decided for this one was price, 215 model costed 17000 euros and 155 13500 euros. 3500 more than other version, if you consider normal work here gives you about 500 - 600 euros a month you can see difference.

Fourth factor i also took in mind was long term repair and maintenace costs. Everyone knows where you have a turbo you have higher stress on materials and lower life time. I do not intend to spend much on repairs during life of pwc, just to have fun with it.

Hope made you see my point when decided for this one, of course i would prefer 215 hp version, i'm not saying that i prefer this one!

I would also like to have a porche, a ferrari, a lamborghini, and maybe some other cars... but guess i can't!
