Who says an eco car needs to be boring?

Well, that power and torque ratings seem to be enought even into bigger models such as the Mégane and the Fluence. I'd like to see how would a Mégane perform with this engine, altough it would probably require the start/stop feature to be more competitive against other models from its class...
