just drove my mates car back from town (about 7 miles) the car is the one in the title and i must say its absoloutely amazing, a real dream of a drive especially compared to my old corsa sri 8v lol.
so far me mate hasn't had any problems with it and fuel economy is good, even though i only did 7 miles in it i would recommend one to anyone

The pre and post facelift remind me of what they did with the Corsa C tbh.
One long grill at the bottom, or 3 grills.

facelift later ones are much nicer. Early 1.4 sports are 75bhp, then around the 06/56 plate it got upped to 85bhp and then end of last year they used the 100bhp 1.4 in the Sport model, only previously found in the special edition Formula Sport and DAB models. Later ones have nicer gearknob, steering wheel etc.etc. The latest ones, SportRider have cruise control, climate control, leccy folding mirrors, fr style alloys, 100bhp..... and can be got some places this month with £1000 off!!!

Got one of the 1.4's in a pre facelift model, pretty good cars, feels a lot better than the saxo i had. Mines a 1.4 se sport (what it says on the logbook!)

Also my clocks are better

why would you want an EML? it just makes you aware of a problem under the bonnet, which you'd rather not be aware of because you know it's going to cost shit loads

Not too bad eh
I cheated a bit though, just turned the ignition on and off and got the pic so the needle had dropped, it was just below full say around the full and 3/4 mark
