I honestly thought the valver would run away with this :shocked:. Didnt think the 8v would get many votes at all, but its even beating the VR. He He  :grin:

I can't believe the 8v got that many votes, everyone I spoke to when I was looking put me off of them. Haha

Trouble is with the VR is its a great car but you need a petrol tanker to follow you round with the current petrol prices at the moment.The 16v on the other hand dont sound as good but isnt far behind the VR performance wise and no tanker required.The 8v well no one every said it was quick with only 115bhp its never gonna be fast fast but its still nippy round town and good on a run offers decent mpg and cheap to maintian etc it suits people who are not really to fussed on performance why it suits me.
