my mate kanes his 1.2 8v constantly and hes never had a problem ever and he's had it for about a year and gets constant abuse not saying its quick tho, IMO you don't want a quick car to learn in... cause they teach you too pass a test not to drive a car you only learn to drive when you've passed and you'll end up in a hedge with a fast car!
