Hi Liam I use to own a 220 Gti - they are nice cars and I've driven a 416 and really liked it. After the 2.0 I would say the low down power is missing but at the top end it makes up for it - it's very much a Honda design thing.
I'm sure Massive will be along to say hello to a fellow Rover owner.
How are you liking the car? The 1.6 is a nice revvy engine and certainly more reliable than my T series one! What mods have you got planned?
