y? insurance wise the 1.2 8v is ideal for young modifiers
the car seems to be an ideal for further modifying

M reg = 1994 = 9 years old. average milage is 10k a year. This has just under average miles.
Anyway, beside the point, my 1.2 8v is on 123k and it runs smooth as fcuk. just keep em fully serviced every 6 months, and keep std air box on there etc. u'll be fine. the c12nz is best left as it came out the factory. Mines still givin me 45mpg round town, and 55/60mpg m-way driving.
