Only failure so far heater panel bulbs, rattle on drivers door panel.
Much better to drive than 16v (you only thrash it if you want to!!).
Buy a "Scorpion" Stainless exhaust it sounds lovely and it's actually quieter than standard.
This is one of the most silly comments that I have ever heard.. better than 16v.. I have had both 16 and 8v.. you don't have to be a bright what one was the better ride.. 8 v is slow unless all the mod coms come out and you spend ££££s.. get the eco 16 v and get an good exhaust and good filters.. ace car!
