I do a lot of motorway miles and want something to replace my 1.4 sport that will be economical and similar on insurance & performance. What are everyones opinions?

i imagine 0-60 would take a bit longer but once on the move its probably as quick if not a little quicker due to the large amount of torque it has at very low RPM i find between 2000-3000 RPM it pulls very very well

cuz some got different box to cope with amount of silly torque they develop-led to different shafts and hubs.

5 stud gives better optons for bigger brakes too! Like Astra VXR fronts etc
