This will be an interesting one, from my limited knowledge i would imagine the bravo's 5 cylinder engine sounds a lot better, or so i've been told.

i think i will go for a hgt purely because the exterior and the interior is much nicer.
another reason is that parts for my zr are pricey. you can guess why.
it would be a very interesting race though.....

a Much sexier, much more reasonably priced motor.

Good Choice

A pound to a pinch of ****e that you will be disappointed with the HGT's "power". It looks much nicer than the MG though.

If they are really that ****e RR why have you owned a few and keep coming back? A question that has bugged me for some time

have you got an inability to make positive comments RR?

dont underestimeate the power of the 5cylinder!!

was racing my mate the other day in his clio 172cup and to my amazement i kept up with him rather well. although he is a FAT **** lol!!

no doubt ppl will av a pop for racing now losers

Ian - pot kettle and black. Now dont be rude please - I haven't badmouthed you.

Wimmy - I have owned 3 Bravo's beacause I like the styling, the 1.6 was a nice engine, but crap in the reliablity department. The first one was so bad that I got all my money back of Fiat. I waited a long time for a HGT at a good second hand price, but was disappointed with it's performance when I eventually got one. I I got a scond one at a very good price and sold it a week later for £500 more than I paid for it.

If you read back, you will see that I praised the HGT's styling above the MG's. I would call that positive.

Remember Daz, 155 HGT? He also denigrated th HGT's performance and I stand by what I say.

I trust that answers your questions and I assume this is still on "Forum"? That being the case, I beleive I am entitled to air my opinions.

 

[RR]

I forgot to add............

You only had to ask.

 

[Wimmy]

Airing opinions is not a problem at all. Which is why you are still here.
Just confused me ever so slightly that you werent that keen on them yet are here as much as the rest of us.
