ok its torquier ALL over the rev range, its more powerful over the whole rev range, its got slightly better suspension (10mm lower) its got better brakes (256mm brakes 8v has 239mm), its got an extra 1000rpm to rev, and i think the 16v's gears are a bit longer too ok the 8v isnt slow and i dont dislike them but you gotta realise that the 16v is faster.

NO!!!!!

Although I think they are mainly talking crap regarding price, and before everyone starts telling me how cheap they got their car for, well all I'll say is if anyone out there can find me a mint (and I mean mint) late spec 16v with 70k for under 3k then I'll quite happily pay you a finders fee, say 5% (and I'm being serious!)
