nah tbh the 8v are strong engines but they're old generation now, 16v's are better but again more expensive to fix...more parts...more to go wrong :lol: | |

quote: Sri 16v values started on M-plates. Mines a 16v, the V-grills are on +97 models. Leccy windows was on option on these models. 16v is better all round really. If you can afford it tho get a slightly newer sport. | |

more low down torque is correct, and I wouldn't say 16v's a prone to sticky valves but there has been some examples. | |

corrct bout cat but id go for the 16v, its better, had no probs with mine, they are a newer car too so the old 8vs will be a tad worn, getthe 16v sport | |
