Those rovers are very nippy for a 1.4, either with 95 or 105bhp depending on year. However, i found them quite gutless in everyday driving and as weird as this may sound, whilst the golf may not be quicker off the line i would say it will probably feel the quicker car to drive. The one thing those 1.4 k-series engines lack is torque!

thats  exatcly what i want im not too fussed about racing other cars i just want something nice to cruise in with a bit of poke low down that pulls nicely.

Why not just go for a 8v GTi mate...
