What is the difference between a 1.4 SRi and a 1.4 Sport Corsa B? Both the same insurance group, both getting practicly the same quote for them. any performance difference or any looks? 
 
Thanks

if the sri is a 16 valve then there will be no difference in terms of power. if its an 8 valve then its slightly down (82hp compared to 90hp). i always recommend the sport as they come with electric windows etc. and if your lucky you can pick up one with power steering and abs

1.4 SRi are usually 8v whereas 1.4 Sport are 16v 
 
as already mentioned, the sport one comes with the electric pack and even though they're the same insurance group the SRi will be seen as the most 'boy racer' one by insurers

Another Question, I look at the GSI engine bay and it seems to have a "ecotech" cover look thingy, is that the same with the sport and the SRi? or is the sport/SRi the older ugly lookin engine?
