15bhp and 8 valves is the difference.

the 16v has more vavles witch means the engine moves faster so better excelleration same top end speed just quicker of the mark
The 1,2 16v and 1.4 8v were the smae as proven by me Al, Ali and R3OBC n more that 1 occasion!
I thought it was the other way about, I assumed it was commonly regarded that 8vs were quicker off the mark and although had less power had all their power lower down than 16vs but nothing further up which a 16v does, hence they use all their power lower down and feel quicker at lower speeds although the 16v has more power and more top end speed.
I was told this by a knowledgable guy with a mk2 ph1 1.2 8v btw

i drive both regularly, driving about town the 8v actually feels faster, try and take the 8v on the motorway and you may die lol i kept trying to drop it into 2nd on sliproads thinking i was in 4th but i was already in 2nd lol.

I used to own a 1.2 16v and drove a few 8v's and the 16v is much better and revs much more freely. I think the performance figures speak for themselves as well......
8v ---- 58bhp ---- 0-60 15 secs ---- top speed 98mph
16v ---- 73bhp ---- 0-60 13 secs ---- top speed 106mph
8v ---- 58bhp ---- 0-60 15 secs ---- top speed 98mph
16v ---- 73bhp ---- 0-60 13 secs ---- top speed 106mph

I found that out trying to keep up with everyone at the Arbroath meet !!!

Had a 1.2 8v and I used used to think it was quick.
Then I went to a CS meet....
Then I moved to a 172....
Handling is THE most important factor in a 1.2. You can have some great fun!

Not being funny here, but the 1.2 Clio 16v is one of the best small cars you can buy for the money, and I wouldn't swap my Clio 16v 1.2 for any other 1.2 or 1.4 around. Fact.
So people who knock them just because they are slow and drive 182's or whatever is just ridiculous. At least we have a car to get around in, which is more then what most people can say!! Not also that, but I can't afford to insure anything bigger than a 1.2 anyway coz of my age, so it's an ideal car really and pretty quick as far as 1.2's go.
And apart from the interior and engine and exterior trim, the car is pretty much the same as the bigger boys anyway obv lacking the power as well.
For the record it's 75bhp standard and 0-60 in about 13 secs there abouts.

You can't compare them to the RS models its a shopping car that handles well with a few mods. They are by no means quick.

Was just comparing them to 172's/ 182's
RS's are in a different league.

My 1.2 does 0-60 in 10.5 on average at this is with just a K+N with CAF, stripping and shell optimax.
My friends 1.4 8V does 0-60 in 13.5 seconds. It has the same mods as mine and was run on optimax.
Theses times were with me driving both cars. My tyres are slightly better quality (toyo's as opposed to Vreidesteins) but apart from that everything is the same.
Top speed on the 1.2 16v = 112 (speedo)
Top speed on the 1.4 8V = 94 (speedo)

Ive had 112mph out of my car, the climb to 90 is allrite, but thereafter is a push. I have a car which is better than what a lot of people ever get in their lives, and im ungreatfull in the fact that i hate it and want more power. its a nice car and its in super good nik.
Ive stopped driving like a bell end since then though, i wanna keep my licence clean, and stay alive.
I've got a 1.2 16v and I think the engine is a bit s**t tbh.
