Go for the 1.6 if you can afford to. Saves getting bored of the 1.4 then wanting a 1.6

IMO the 1.2 8v is a cracking engine for your first car

Never let me down and is very cheap to fix

Granted its very very slow but save your cash wait until you 21 or insurance goes down and get another car

with the money u spend tuning a 1.4 you might aswell get a 1.6 and spend that modding money on insurance

anyone know reading this thread, how much roughly it costs more with declared mods such as alloys, filter, backbox, lowered springs to the average quote, i.e. 715 quid in this case?
