tbh mate i had a 1.4 sport and you will notice a huge difference with the 12v
it is very slow, its not too bad when you have no passengers in the back, but as soon as even 1 person is in the back its horifically slow

Me They are very slow but bombproof little engines which do silly MPG. It will feel a lot slower than your 1.4 sport but if you're not wanting speed they are perfect

One word. YES! I've owned my Star Silver for over 4 years now. Although I have driven slower cars and feared for my life.
Heres mine...

ive got a little star silver, 1.0 with dark grey wheels. ive done 20k miles, mostly motorway since june last year and its still going strong. they are very slow and they take ages to build up speed. its getting up to 60-70mph that takes all the petrol and from there on it runs off fresh air. i wouldnt bother tuning it performance wise and its almost guaranteed to fail on emissions come MOT time anyway.
