Thats just mental dude

 

[182 sport]

insurance groups for cars are not just classed on how fast they go.they take into account how safe the car is in a crash,how easy they are to nick,how popular they are at being nicked etc. If you look at the old vauxhall astras 1.6,1.8 and 2.0 and compare them to the new ones the there is a big difference.As the cars have advanced got safer and harder to nick the insurance is less on new models than older ones.

 

[h3lter]

aahhhhhhh that might be (thank you) BUT............ any one seen them up against each other?

 

[CraigJ]

No but will be seeing old RSI against yours soon mate

 

[h3lter]

bah!....... come get sum! lol!

still no answers on the 1.6 16vs against each other?

 

[steve a]

I would say the rsi might be slightly faster, due to less weight?

 

[h3lter]

yea but the difference aint that big

dynamic is 1610kg

rsi is 1550kg

 

[h3lter]

still no people on this subject! im interested thats all?

 

[steve a]

bloody hell didnt realise they were that heavy!

 

[dk]

so how come a 1.6 is 1610kg and a 182 is only 1090kg? Bigger engine, more equipment? Am i being stupid?

 

[Dink]

no the 1.6 dynamique is only 1070kg i think

and if was in the s.wales area we could see what the out come was

(if my car wasnt at renault again)

 

[Ben H]

Theyre not 1600kg. Probably about 1050kg.

The "RSi" was the new name for the Mk2 "16V" (did no justice to the original bonnet-bulged, fat arched, rip-roaring Mk1 16V) and now its just another engine option, available in sporting Dynamique or luxury trim.

Apart from the Mk2 Ph1 and Ph2 differences, there will only be trim variations. The insurance groups depend also on repair prices and commonality of parts.

 

[1.6 16v]

regarding insurance groups though pre 03 (still dynamics) are ig10 still-they are the exact same cars

 

[badboy_mc]

HMM VERY INTERESTING WHOS UP FOR A RACE WIV THE RSI THEN BRING IT ON

 

[h3lter]
