Ive got an old S reg 1.4 Manual LPG, that I use for pottering around, great little Cars, handle like Go Karts with the right Tyres on them, really goof in the snow as well.
Not much in the 1.4 vs 1.6, being LPG I can stick around 25 quids worth of Gas in it (Spare Wheel) and get over 300 miles on Gas.
Rust areas can kill them for Mot's, sreas effected or Rear Arch, Rear Body just above the Bumper, and around the Front Suspension Areas, still plenty out there going strong after 15 plus years.
Go for a Manual. 16v, back seats are bloody uncomfortable, but fold them down and you have an instant Van tons of space in the back.
Im 6,2 once you master the art of getting in and out of them, loads of Head Room. common faults are wet rear condensation on the boot which is caused by the rear water holes near the rear Hatch Shocks getting bumged up, need cleaning with a toothbrush once a week, check the NS Window automatically opens and shuts a few inches when you close the Hatch Door, or youstand the risk of blow the HatchGlass out, Head light Bulbs a real pain in the arse to replace, Lambda's and Air Sense fail, cheap fix, apart from that, easy to maintain and cheap parts, and easy to work on.
The old or the new one mate?
Possibly the old one Webby. 1,4 16v, or 1.8 16v up to 1998.
We've got one in the workshop mate....currently not starting as someone broke the oil pressure switch (not me BTW )
If you want any photos or Autodata info let me know
