Ive got a 1.4 Westie, (same as the furio, just a MK1 instead of a MK2) and its not bad as a 1st car , (even though its my 3rd!) Planning on VTS conversion next year. But I have defo enjoyed the 1.4.

hmm i have to disagree with u here alex, i got my furio as my first car and im bored of it now, had it 8or 9 months, only passed my test 3months ago mind but im still bored of it, sure its nippy enough but i regret not getting at VTR - only 2 or 3 insurance groups higher and a very noticeable difference.

but jon the same could be said of every car, you could have got a vts and regretted not getting say a gti 6 etc... certainly not a bad car to start withsmileys/happy.gif

there is a 1.4 ZR which is 105 bhp.

I agree Jon , but I can still keep up with my mates who are my age who drive similar size and some bigger sized engined cars.

But I need more, hence why the VTS engine is in the pipeline

my mates got a furio 1.4 for his first car and he is wheel happy, most people thinks its a vtr anyway, i have a vtr and some times he has said i wish i had a vtr but then he has said that when he has done with his car it will be quicker than i vtr, so id go for it mate but its up 2 u

Whatever car you end up with, chances are you will get bored of it anyway. I'm the same. Get a new car, year or so later, get used to its performance, get bored and want a change. Although saying that, the VTS does keep a smile on my face...... every now and then i boot it and realise how quick it is.

craig17furio i find it hard to believe, sure it wasnt a rover? 105 compared to 75 on a furio, :S

i want a punto GTT but cant get one till i get my years no claims which is OCTOBER:'( so i am going to think about some little mods to improve performance slightly on my furio, nothing silly thoughsmileys/smiley4.gif

anyone know who owns and the spec of the fastest 1.4(not the GMC one though)?
