Hi
Just about to buy a very nice active sport. Does anyone know what the fuel economy is and what the acceleration is like? Many Thanks

it dose 41 to 45 and it pulls mint well i think it dose

8v or 16v

my 16v does on average 42mpg , long runs i have seen 53mpg

16v acceleration is good between 3-5k it pulls you back, traffic light gp's can be won

Personally I would roadtest a car before I parted with the cash.

didnt know there were 8v and 16v versions. Think its an 8v. Will this be slow to drive or ok? Downgrading from a Cooper S for fuel cost/insurance cost. Going to view it tomorrow

Compared to a Cooper S it will feel slow as ****, but they aren't too bad. Why didn't you get a JTD if you wanted low fuel costs/insurance?

hi all,


Gaz, What happened to your '16v' badge??

By the way mine is a 1.2 16v mk2b and it always without fail averages 41MPG on the trip computer

I would like to know what the actual percentage of 8v and 16v active sport mk2b's there is ?

If anybody knows this this would also be much appreciated.

and gaz, where the hell did u drive to get ur car looking like that!!

:slayer: extreme driving going on there!

cheers,
Steven

mine never had a 16v badge, i took it out for a test drive assuming it was an 8v , had a right shock and had to buy it

was all motorway driving to get it that dirty, at the mo it looks like them pics again

in my 8v i get 48 - 52 mpg round the doors! and it's quite fast for round the doors

In my 8v i get about 40 to 44 mpg and top speed of 100 out of it was screeming like, i aint doin that to my baby agen, i love mine wish i could of had 16v but never mind for a 18 year old like me it does great and keeps level from lights with my mates fiesta and clio 1.2 16v cars so its nice

I have the 16v and i think its pretty good for a 1.2 shocked my mate with his 1.4 corsa and another mate with a 1.8 corsa said he was pretty impressed with the power it gives for a 1.2 i get around 43mpg not so bad,
