next month i am goin to sell my 1.2 merit and buy either a corsa sri or a corsa sport 1.4 16v. sri's are cheaper as they are slightly older, but 16v are obviously quicker. so basically is it worth waiting longer and getting a 16v or just to get an sri cos theres bairly ne difference? cheers

try and get the 16v sri they have a tiny bit more poke than a 8v sri, and more potential.

8valve SRi's are 82bhp, have no leccy's, probably a sunroof
16v SRi's have the 90phb eco-tec engine and again have no leccy's (well essexracer doesnt anyway!)
1.4 16v sport is what you want, will be more ££ but will also hold its value slightly better due to extras like a/c, pas, leccy windows etc.
In standard form the 8valve and 16valve arent miles apart in performance, but the 16v has more tuning potential
