My SXi was fine for the 1st year but in the past year I've replaced 4 sensors and they aren't cheap. Other than that its been a good car. Drove a 1.4 16v the other night and it didn't seem any quicker than mine till over 70 | |

The sxi's a sound car, had no problems in 3 years, and it was doin about 20k a year. It's also quicker than the 1.4 8v so don't bother with them. But if you can afford insurance on a sport - go for it!!!:thumbs: | |

type types of 1.4 8v the pissy 1.4 8v spi which is as bad as the 1.2 8v spi and the 1.4 8v mpi which is better by all accounts, | |

mines a 1.4i 8v basically its just the high torque 1.4 if its ur 1st car its gud to start off in cos it will seem pokey compared to ya mates 1.0 but after 6months or so u do get used to it an it seems slow! | |

My 1.4 8v is actually pretty nippy & has enough torque | |

If its a first car then an SXI is a good option, got a few toys and they look alrite. Got a spoiler and the good interior. The 1.2 16v engine isnt bad, its not quick but its only a 1.2 and it doesnt always go wrong. Mine has'nt let me down in 2 years so far. | |
