S1 106 XSI's are alot of fun. But they will break, and probably very often!

Should of bought a 106 GTI, then you would have a deep down hatred for any vauxhall, or any car that can outhandle a GTI

Going from a 1.2 8v to that weapon I have a feeling he may end up in a hedge.

1.4 is group 10, 1.6 is group 11.
They are ridiculously cheap to insure though, even if they have high insurance groups.
