How much difference is there between the 1.0 and 1.3?

[PeteG]

So far, I've been limiting my search to finding a semi-decent, cheap, 1.3. But, alas, finding one is proving tricky - so I'm thiking if nothing's turned up by pay day, to have a look at some 1.0s? I'm not expecting rocketship performance, but is it worhth olding out for a 1.3? Running costs are pretty similar regarding insurance etc... and either will be a little bit better on fuel than my two-tonne barge...

Main difference is about 0.3 ltrs lol, you will notice a difference in performance between 1.0 and 1.3 I've had both and I'd say hold out for a 1.3 one will turn up.

ive drove both, and i can say the 1.3 is alot quicker. its a really noticeable diffreance aswell.

my mate has a 1.0 with the same mods as mine (exhaust and filter and 15" wheels) theres along straight road near mine its national speed limit... theres a massive tree, in a 1.3 you can hit 60 no problem, in a 1.0 your struggeling to hit 50... also the 1.0 was struggling to pull up a hill that leads out of the village where i live, the 1.3 just flys up it asif its not there lol.

Had a look at the green one, IMO the "repaired sills" were nowhere near a good enough standard to pass another MOT.
I'm waiting for a call back regarding another, it's getting some repairs done to it now, apparently.

I've not yet had a look at any private sales, if I were to bribe you with beer tokens and Maltesers, would you be willing to come and have a look at one with me? I know I'm a cheeky git, but shy bairns get nowt and all that...

Looking like it's going to go well over budget

 

[Stani1029]

awell its very worth it, thats the sort of price you would look at paying for a gd mint one although my best one so far cost me £50, sailed through an mot aswell and was very quick for being n/a

the 1.3 is worth every penny.. even in "between speed bump 0-20mph" sprints with my matey's 1.0 mine was miles ahead.

and stani??? have you turbo'd your car?

 

[Stani1029]

[Antony]
