Pro's and con's of ownership... Please discuss.
I'm going to view a sport tonight, but there's a GSi i'm interested in too. Thing is i know you get electric windows, power steering and air-con with the sport, But this GSi i'm going to look at has all apart from the air-con obviously. The sport has 86,000 miles on a V-plate. The GSi has 56,000 miles on an M  Which would you go for and why

This sport is literally around the corner from me,
V-reg
8months MOT
6months tax
Black standard and is less than a mile from my house  He's got it up for £1350, i know that's a good price, but what should i wave in his face, any tips for bargaining?

The only reason people say GSI is because of the kit as standard.

Sport. Newer, nicer interior. Just stick a GSi bodykit on it and you've got the best of both.
