Default Searching a 2010 sedan 1.6D sport

Hi everybody,
As some of you already know, I'm searching a 2010 3 sedan 1.6L sport. It's impossible to have this combination of engine/equipment here in Belgium.

I've found a possibility in Portugal, but price is very high and there is always the white illumination of the dash. I definitly do NOT want a white dash.

Another possibility is Greece, where I've found it. but I'm not able to see if the sport 1.6D is available with the black-out dash.

So if anybody is able to confirm it or to tell me there's the 1 I want in his country please help me.
Thanks everybody.

Yes you could indeed. As well diesel as gas engines are available in 1.6 L. The 1.6 L gas is a lil pathetic with only 105 Hp but the diesel (109 Hp ) has a comfortable torque of 240 Nm. Both can be easily tuned. Mine has now 141 Hp and 321 Nm. It certainly worth your 2.0 L gas engine but offers an incredible (4 USA at least) + 45 mpg !!! And that's with my agressive driving style here. Sure that a 2010 3 equiped my way in the States could go to 55 mpg.

You could improve this engine with a sport exhaust and more easily.

Here in europe the downsizing of engines (even 4 europe ) has already begon. You can buy an Alfa Romeo 159 (mazda 6 size) with a 1.8 L good for 200 Hp or an Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.4 L (mazda 2 size) of 170 Hp, both are gasoline turbo engines.
