And it also depends whether a twat is driving it or not, go on what the performance figures tell u cos some people say i did a 1.4 in a 1.2 but the 1.4 may just be a shit driver! | |

Okay, parkers may be wrong, but still the sri is a faster car in 8v and 16v form then the 1.2 in b or c form. I admit there may not be much difference in it, but the sri is still that bit quicker....pulling away, mid range and top end power. | |

8v engines never die! Why do you think that engine lasted as long as it did. Over 20 years that engine was used for...and they never really needed to improve it unless it was for emissions and laws. | |

+ the 1.2 is a newer engine. the nova would die off eventually tho as its 8v. | |

But just for the record..........a 1.4 nova SR would walk over both :D | |

They may not feel different but a 1400 SRi engine has more torque, more bhp and will acheive a higher top speed because of the larger cc engine size. If you have the choice, get the SRi. The corsa b sxi is 65bhp, the corsa c sxi is 74bhp, but not very torquey, and get people in the car and the 8v pulls a lot better..... | |

the newer 1.2 16v (75bhp) and the 1.4 8v MPI (82bhp SRI) are very similar in performance and feels very little differance when driving either one. | |

Am I right in thinking that both the 1.2i 16V engine is as powerful as the 1.4 8V engine? |
