Off the mark nothing in it, once moving 16v gets away.

Mid range 16v is better.

yes..the SRi 8v seems quicker off the mark where as the 16v has a huge flat spot at low revs. But once the revs build up the 16v engine feel more pokier. There is not a lot of diffeence but the 8v does run out of puff quicker.

i have had both engines, a 1.4 8v and 1.4 16v!

personally the only good thing bout the 16v engine that i had was it looked nicer than horriable 8v, part from that the 8v was betta, i dont rev my cars to high tho so prob didnt get best out fo the 16v but i liked the 8v for being fast off the mack pulling off from juctions etc!
