1.2 sxi is just as good, fair enuff not as quick, but you get all the benefits of the sri's for a cheaper price

The reason I ask is because I'm holding one in a Vauxhall dealership. It is 6 months old, 8000 miles and asking for £7500 which I think is rather outstanding seeing as they cost £13500 new. Should I bag it?

Dont think im being silly here but they do another engine in the SRi which is well worth considering.

The 1.7 CDTi has 100 BHP and does 0-60 in 10.5. Similiar to the 1.4.

But it has 240 NM of torque!!!!
Thats loads. Consider that a VX220 turbo only has 250NM!!
In every day driving it would be excellent. Plus you get over 50mpg!!!
Its also only ins Grp 5!!

not a big difference then. Looks nice with the Toora's and Irmscher front splitter tho. Splitter joins a fair bit higher than the pre face lift doesnt it. Whats the back end like? any change?
