1.4 and 1.6 both have same F15 box. 1.4 is grp 6 insurance and 1.6 is grp 11-13 depending on insurance company | |

He's right. These boxes are so low geared. Never had more than 115 out of mine. | |

Its more than just 15HP extra!! Look at the torque and capability of the engine! That extra 200cc means more power down low plus a better around town car. | |

Go for the 1.4 sport its cheaper to insure its not worth paying 4 more insurance groups more for a 1.6 sport and its more fun to upset people from traffic lights especially when the ask u whats under the bonnet !!! | |

Insurance group for the gsi is 11 I think, for the sport 10 and for both 1.4 16v's is 6. | |

i drive a 1.4 16v SRI and think that for insurance running costs etc the 1.4 is a better buy! not much really in the performance! | |

depends who you go with for insurance, official vauxhall insurance group for the gsi and sport is group 8 for the 1.6 16v, the SRi and sport 1.4 16v are both grp6.... | |

They r 4 insurance groups apart and theres only about 15 BHP between them. 1.4 16v makes more sense for value. | |

I used to have a K 1.4SRi nova extremely well lucked after and quick off the mark, 0-30 v good, 0-60 acceptable. Thinking of upgrading my 8 valve 1.2 R breeze to a 1999/2000 1.4 Sport. How will it compare to my nova ? |
