once you get into third its pretty much like a 1.4 or 1.6....

what sort of 1.4s are you driving!!!!!??!!!!!

0-60 in a 16 valve is 7.9

0-60 in a 8valve is 8.3

not that much difference for the sake of 27bhp!

Don't wanna get embroiled in this too much but there's no way a car with a bhp of only 120 per tonne (the 8V) is gonna hit 60 that fast. More likely 9.0 or thereabouts - it's physics. The 16V has 150 ish per tonne so I can believe 7.9. But: what are the 30-70's?

bah this is never gonna end   all i wanted 2 know was in yr view wot IS the better car 8v or 16v, 46 pages later and i still cant make my mind up  

whatever the 'official figures' say the 16v is a good second quicker 0-60, maybe 1.5secs quicker

i know its hard to swallow but 16v is a superior car marcus.
