A six-speed-only hatch with 280 lb-ft, sold as a grocery getter, is still the best-kept secret in front-drive performance, and the BL Speed3 hasn't been found out yet. The 2.3 turbo DISI makes its torque down low where you actually drive, and the right owner can make a lot more than the stock 263hp. The catch is that every one for sale has a past, so here's the stuff that matters before and after you sign. 1. Ask about the cam follower first. The high-pressure fuel pump rides on it, and a worn one eats the cam. It's cheap to inspect and replace, and it's the thing the last owner most likely never touched.
