Seat is group 10.
As I've said, for the limitation, you won't get better than the 1.9 Vaux.
We can all recommend better cars, but is pointless really

this sri one has a 6-speed box, and TC that you CANT turn off

I think with gay wheel drive I wouldn't worry about not being able to turn the TC off

Reading your previous post you say you have the sport button in your car. Just hold it down for 5 seconds, this turns off the traction control completely

I stand corrected, I assumed the 120bhp engine was the 8v, as they deffinately based it on the 120bhp model according to the dealer who sold them.
Correct, and as per my previous post the early 120's used the 16v engine
