My girlfriend picked up her new car today. Its a 1.6 XS model so it comes with all the trimings, electric mirrors, windows, air con etc
Quick question, does anyone know if its the same 1.6 as fitted to a 106 gti / Saxo vts. Its a 2004 on a 54 plate.

My Driving instructer has one, and had one before as his own car! He loves em, and allways talks about how fast they go...blah blah blah. Personally i think they are shit; they are not fast, 2 inch of leg room in the front and back and no feel to the clutch at all! Ill give em their due, they look great, but so poxy to drive. I was really disapointed!

That is definately a 16v, I think it might be the same lump. They only share a different rocker cover. Although it may be the same as the C2 VTR is VTS which is the same with bigger valves.

its the same engine thats in the C2's yeah, ive forgotten the code for it, quite a good engine for tuning apparently,
bic and the maxi 106 is running a very good figure for N/A, although, thousands has been spent on it

16v, you can clearly see it has twin cam.
Plus it is the newer one. My mate has an older S reg xsi which is 8v i think.

thats the xsi 16v lump, same head but different inlet and injection system, hence less power
