8v ftw

Because you couldn't get a 16? lol

(Direct line wouldn't even consider insuring me when i was 18 and tryed for a 16v, what's that about...)

But now i wouldnt be without my 8v, will be going better once the G40 gets put in there this time next year.

they probably do it cheaper for you because they know you will sell it long before you get a chance to crash it

Yea basically your with Elephant as they all owned buy the same Group,

But this is the debate amoung us all with this 1.6 keeping up with a 1.4 16v, it will till about 100 then the 16v continues to about 120ish if that, but the 1.6 does have more torque and i guess could be remaped with a complete stainless steel system and proper induction kit.

This is why i aint sure weather to look for a 1.6 or a 1.4 16v, but atm 16v is winning!

To be fair if you can afford the insurance difference a 1.6 has nothing going for it over a valver

^^ how do the 1.6 have more torque...

I'm a virgin agen , instead of being raped for money just payin under 700 age 21 with 3 crashes no no claims , virgin car insurance ftw , gota 1.6 glx btw

^^ how do the 1.6 have more torque...

they do don't they? 94lb-ft compare to 100lb-ft

they do don't they? 94lb-ft compare to 100lb-ft

Exactly, being 8v.

please don't tell me your implying that it has more torque because its an 8v?

ah but its still pretty poor as the 1.6 is larger capacity
