Just wondering why are polo 1.4 L 1998 Mk 4 around 65BHP i think, isnt this low for a 1.4? :) thanks

its actually 60 and yes.

Any idea on why its only 60HP for a 1.4 ?

ha ha their shit get used to it i just floor it n beat corsas to make myself feel pleased because i cant beat much else lol

lol =D I just cant get around why they have made sucha low HP 1.4 =D must be a reason i suppose

dno, less stress on the engine so better reliabilty?

my 1.6 has only got 75hp and it aint slow.

look up the torque figures for it i know there good for the 1.6.

more for insurance i think..only group 5. (encourage more buyers). thats why they made the 16v aswell

Well talking about insurance its just cost me £1116 for 6 MONTHS!!! but.. i got a 1 year no claims at the end so renewal after the 6 months is 1k for a whole year STILL A LOT lol =D

looked it up on parkers.

torque figures ok but does seem to be a fair bit slower than the 1600.

my sincerest condolences.

What are we talking 0-60 in ?

14.4 0-60

vmax 100mph

omg so i could sleep and wake back up by the time i hit 60 :p

where were u look when u got that insurance quote ! ryan cope. when i got a quote on ma first car cost me F all

omg so i could sleep and wake back up by the time i hit 60 :p

well compared to other 1.4 shopping trolleys it probably aint to bad tbh.

compare with some other hatches on parkers and have a see.

tbh mate theres no need to be fucked with figures that have absolutely zero relevance in real life.

youll probably do 0-60 about twice and max it a few times.

woth a fairly good torque figure it should be ok mid range.

just enjoy having a larf in you are car and youll soon not give a shit bout this.

I've thoroughly enjoyed having my 1.6 and think its a great car.

I had one for my first car. Only 60bhp yes, but with the torque it gives it doesnt feel slow to drive, mates said the same thing. And as been said, produces less stress so lasts and lasts!

he talks sense.

just dont put a big gay soundsystem in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like how i know i dont have the power, but when i put my foot down it feels like i do....does that make sense??

Yes cheers 4 the comments makes sense 100% and the sound system will be concealed :) so nice and stock looking btw I'm no chav just wanted performance figures the insurance isnt too bad over 18 months that is it will cost me 2250 wear as cheapest quote via internet and phone was 1900 for 1 year so i get another 6 months insurance for 350 pounds :) thanks guys haha appreciate it all

i used quinn direct. cheapest i could find.

cost me £777.86 today (provisional), and then it will be jus over £2000 for 12 months when i pass my test

Thats quite good =D i aint even had a spin in my baby yet

Jesus that's high insurance. 2 years ago when I was 19 and had a crash against me, my insurance quotes were still less than 2k fully comp in my name.

Edit: and thats even including a group 9 Ford Mondeo!

insurance is rediculous nowadays. it wasnt much cheeper in my mums name (with me as a named driver), and i live in a quiet villiage!
