Depends if you can move the 1200 on and if you can find a nice SRi at the right price.

They're group 6 so not much more. 1600 at group 11 gets a bit silly.

Get some quotes and see the difference is between all three.

There is a lot of difference between the 1.2 8v and the 1.4 16valve matey !

Running costs are hardly any different if driven sensibly, I really duno why Vauxhall made the 1.2 8 valve

For some reason a GSi to me is cheaper on insurance than a 1.6 Sport?
