    Same amount of time I drove the 1.2 for.

    The 1.2 was more exciting and newer.

    Wow, you have a 12 year old car, cool! I had 2 GT's when they were unknown and only a few years old. Give it a rest mate. Nobody cares.

    I reckon you gota drive a car for a few days to actually get a feel for what its like.


    Yea thats what I was trying to say...with the 16v its revier and the powerband is more pronounced so the 16v will seem alot faster and funner to drive

    It just aint

    1.6 any day of the week, if you find one that is loked after they trounce the 1.2's and have more bottom end plus you don't have to hit the rev limiter to get it moving!

    My old 1.6 was rapid, never found a 1.2 that could beat it and it wasn't poor drivers on the road or at the pod!
