Was thinking about getting rid of me 1.4 Sport, seen loads of SXi's about but are they any good?

Got one from the garage while I wait for my SXi 1.7 DTi to be delivered. The 1.2 seems OK but it needs to be revved to get much out of it as it's a bit gutless at low revs. Does 45mpg tho'. Don't know how it compares to your 1.4 but it is more pokey than the 8v 1.4. One thing is that, in standard form, it goes round corners better than the Corsa B - perhaps the chassis is sorted now. I can actually enjoy driving it on a twisty road!

Great little cars. Bit gutless torque wise, but its nice to drive, looks pretty funky, good options (dash, dials, interior, electrics etc).

Good little car for the money. Too gutless for me though. Donnas ones great fun.

most small 16v engines are pretty gutless. You can actually fell the power kick in at about 3000rpm

I've got those skirts that come part of the viper kit and i catch the rear of them on nearly everything cos the skirt flairs down at the rear wheel. as for the spoiler is it the one that curves up and has 2 arms inthe middle? its the rally one i thnk, thats the one i got. ]#
