I knwo you all tell me to see the car and answer for myself, and I AM going to see a 1.4 twinport this weekend.

Just out of interest, how does it sound, does it sound powerful, or like a normal 1.4. My mate said it sounds like a washing machine..

At the risk of sounding repetative, go the the bleeding Vauxhall dealership. You can look at the pedals, hear the engine, sit in the seats, drive the car, hear the radio, beep the horn, smell the spare wheel and then maybe you will buy one and stop asking these pointless questions.

Twinport engine are more powerful, so they ARE quicker than the older models.

The 1.4 twinport has 98bhp iirc
