Why do you care? If its for insurance, just say whatever car the engine came in that happens to be the lowest insurance group.

GSi's are cheaper for me to insure then SRi's... £475 difference in fact :eek:


My insurance told me that they don't 100% go by the old groupings they quoted me 50% higher for a 1.3SR then a Pug 306td... same group same value
