Am looking to buy a Twinair 105 hp probably 2015-2017 but after a week of looking and researching I couldnt find
any website that gave a definitive breakdown of specs for the various models/engines, (I think because you could pretty much
have any trim level with every engine choice but different things change depending on both trim and engine) and am
none the wiser as regards a couple points.

Had been going to arrange to look at a 2015 Lounge with lowish miles which is only about 5 miles away
but then realised although it has the central screen the speedo is the non digital one and I really want
a digital speed read out.
After this did a bit more looking and seems that for cars of this era you have to get an S or cult model to get the
digital speedo, is this correct?

Also regarding brakes is this correct, 105 hp cars have rear discs but an S also has vented fronts?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Think I just disproved my theory about the digital speedo as have found 2 out of 11 listed 105hp Lounge models
which have the digital speedo, one is a pre facelift 2015 and the other a post facelift 2016.....I cant see any reason
why some do and some dont, one has the old led centre display and one has the newer led centre screen.

I wondered if it depended on whether the car had parking sensors but again have seen some with and some without.

Thanks, that’s the one I don’t want. I believe North American cars or some of them
with this display could be changed to show speed but not European ones.
