Ditto. State of the roads is awful in places. Having said that your lucky with your £210 as its based on engine size for the age of your new motor. How much would the equivilent type 'modern' of your car cost to tax? It'd be a high band probably wouldn't it? The only advantage of having an older high powered car.
It's not that bad really, 178g/km according to the interweb*. My car does have a cat too. When I replace the exhaust at some point in the future, it'll be going though as there is no requirement for it for the MOT over here.
What is ironic, is that if my car was rated on CO2km, I'd pay £5 less road tax a year £215 as it stands based on capacity for which my car is 1587cc, so just falls into the higher bracket, compared to £210 if it was based on emissions!
100hp is 165g/km, which is nothing clever considering it's a newer engine and 200cc less!
*if this is correct.
