The 1.4 16v does 0-60 in 10 Secs
The 1.8 16v does it in 8 secs

Wheels and a few other bits, also you can now get a 1.4 Sxi which comes with free insurance for people over 19.

argh!!
i paid the extra to get my sri and now vauxhall are bringing out a sh*tty sxi of almost exactly the same spec!
F*uckers!!! this is gonna bring the values of our sri's down to as now the sxi will probably be more wanted due to the lower insurance etc etc!!!!

There no point in the 1.4 SRi anymore. They should only have the 1.8 SRi now.
