I have to say I prefer my Sei's over the Cinq for driving, handling wise it was the worst of the bunch & the switch gear on the Cinq is a mess imo. Looks wise I think the Cinq is best with the Mk2 Sei in second.
I had a cinq previous, and i gotta say i'm up with the Cinq.... but i have my 'Wendy' now (Christened by my best mate) and i can't say no to her every time i get in her =D And i'd go mk2... My mates got a yellow mk2 sporting, and i dunno, just 'feels' better
I always preferred the front of the mk1 sei's. I'm sure an mpi would be better allrounder of a car (i've not been in one) but the mk1 just looks better to me
the cinq/sei thing is a whole other arguement (my solution is i have a cinq and a sei , although i must admit i'd prefer it if the cinq was the turbo and the sei NA but i'll make do)
Definately prefer the Cinq Sporting but never had a go in a Sei sporting. When I replace this one, it's either a late plate Cinq Sporting (rugby ball wheel) or a MK2 Sei sporting, just think they look nicer
Mk1 ftw... , the mk2's are nice, but seem just a bit.... fussy looking at the front for a little car.
having owned both 2 cinqs and a sei... cinq by a zillion trillion country lightyear miles. and i did really like my sei, but the cinq outclasses it in almost every area.
Mk 1 because... well, I have one, lol. Mk 2 would've been my choice at this point though, knowing a P75 engine fits like a charm - quite a cheap mod for upwards of 20BHP extra.
