Depending on what alloys you get, the bellones are prone to corrosion but that's all I've heard, I'm a Dsign driver so this is more a question for sport+ drivers

If it's the THP there's one real issue worth bearing in mind. Don't let is sway your decision too much as it still is a brilliant car and any issues reported by users so far have always been fixed under warranty. Even so, have a read of this before you sign anything.

The THP 150 had issues but as far as I can see they are mostly fixed with the THP155 (I own one- ZERO issues). Don't let the numbers throw you off, they both have the same power (156PS/about 153BHP) and the difference is in solving problems and making the emissions better and MPG better and thus a better tax level

THP155 here after blowing the 150 engine. Already had the car back in once to get the tensioner re-done
