same here.

is just im looking at this mini mayfair stripped with a 1.4 running 100bhp with all other goodies like lsd etc.

But the speed for example is a top speed of 110, and 0 - 60 of about 7.5/8.

A lot slower than the XE, but im really tempted by it as it will handle sooooo well.

Gotta be an allround package for me, looks, power handling and speed.

Noise aint a big issue with me anymore, driving an XE corsa with a big exhaust kinda killed it for me lol

I like power and speed, but I prefer handling, as you might have a fast car that doesn't handle, and a car with not much power but you can catch up with them at the corners.

Looks, power, handling, in that order. A bit of noise is alright but my mate had a loud 214 and it was annoying to live with. 0-60 next on the list

Not too bothered by top speed because I don't get many chances to actually go faster than 70 on the dual carriageway.

None of the above.

"Workmanship i.e. what ever work has been done, is the best possible work with no corners cut". e.g. a C20XE conversion that has had a proper treated shell/chassis, brakes, lowering kit, ARB's, that sort of thing.
