Depends what model tbh. SXi is nice, but has keep fit windows.

You have to drive a 12v like it has turbo lag, keep it above 3krpm and it's fine. Beat many a cars on a sliproad. Albeit downhill sliproad


I suppose it would have to be the sxi really, i should have said the sxi was £16 more to insure, you can still get electric windows though, but mine didn't

chrisritch - my car hasn't exploded yet, and doesn't make any sounds like it's going to. Was on 59k when I got it. Now on 87k and it hasn't let me down once (except for the clutch), never failed an MOT, nothing.

A 12v is as good as any car if looked after, like any car should be.
