its a very good engine, very very reliable, and a 1.0 12v is not faster, only at the top end is it slighty quicker

An amazingly good engine. Will last forever, in theory, very strong, and can handle a right good pasting.

Depends on the context really:

Performance and economy is shite. Reliability is second to none.

good engines, if they are in a nova, they are just too under powered for corsas.

of course its a crap engine, fair enough it doesnt miss a beat, but its dreadfully underpowered and comes with crap fuel econemy not helped by the fact to actually just keep up with traffic when town driving you have to rev the tits out of it lol.

At least you can tune a 1.2 8v. Ain't fuck all you can do with a 12v!

Reedy's 1.0 12v was faster than my 1.2 8v.

Shit engines, as sjj said, underpowered to the point of being dangerous.
So what if it lasts for ages, so do genital warts.

I remember when I had 120 on the clocks in my 1.2 8v with 3 people in the car

Loved it and have to say it was very reliable.
