..what was youre fav bit on the gsi when buying/bought it?? APART from the power...
i went from 1.2 sxi to my gsi in order of preferance it was the mechanical oil pressure gauge; truly awesome never bored of it to this day. a boost gauge for n/a! Then the side skirts; didn't realise how chunky they were for real. then the seats. riiiight sporty compared to the 'bench-like' sxi seats. then the badge. retro lookin. know youre the daddy nova now.

ps; what didn't you like? im not really sure on mine. maybe the back bumper; no different bar colour to old one. anyways discuss.

i went from having had 2 mk1 SR's to owning a gsi

best thing was the MK2 dash (behind the engine of course)

worst thing was the front end. bit girly compared to the mk1

you are a bit girly dave. lol
only jokeing, i do get worried about you staring at me thou. :D

i used to drive my bro's old 1.2, but only on occasions. then i had a 1.4 sr now the gte. i really dont think the gte is much faster then the 1.4 sr. i can tell it's more torquey thou.

my oil pressure thing has never worked and ive enver investigated, im sure its the sender or a wire oh well, the dash was the best bit, iu head everything else.

seats had in my sting, and steering wheel and gearnob, the bumpers are ok, ther engine was faster by abt 15bhp compared with the 1400 engine, the insurance was the worst bit and having to pay the full tax bracket, being just outside by under 500cc's is annoying!

good cars tho
