If you don't intend to mod the engine then the 8v is more reliable and has 84BHP. But as a basis for tuning the 16v engine is a much better engine to have, and has 89BHP as std, you wouldn't notice the differencein either except the power delivery of the 8v will be more constant and the 16v only picks up after 3.5-4k

u can also get 16v SRi's that have 90BHP, same as te sports they are the newer ones, mines an M reg and has a 16v ecotec engine.

A slightly cheaper alternative than a sport if you ae worried about money too
