i got a 180 at 20 but the insurance was killer maybe try the xsi 1.6 its got 110bhp so still nippy and cheap insurance
best bet is to find a few registrations off ebay and get some quotes for different engine sizes and see which ones are in your price range

XSi ftw, but there 110 bhp not 120. nothing a remap cant sort out ;D as for the rest...the climate control i got told you could but didnt look any further into it, electric mirrors yes, auto wipers and lights yes and sportier shape seats with 4 air bags like the GTi/180.

You'll not get 10 BHP from a re-map alone on a N/A TU
