Mal, welcome to the forums! What country are you writing from? Is the car gasoline or diesel powered? Is all maintenance up to date? Does the car run well?

If the car is solid, chip tuning would be my first thing to attack. By far the highest yield you will find in terms of money spent.

What does that affect mostly in a car like this, i understand this is best for mileage and economy but im more interested in power and driving experience rather than economy

Mal, can you say which engine you have? Turbo diesel? Displacement?

In my experience with tuning turbodiesels, it provides a significant increase in power.
