Let's put this way , each of us believe his/her car is the best because......
Each high/low spec has got something in common - engine

You think like I do!

Wish a local magazine could get a standard spec to test...

And more sidewall flex, less grip off the line.

@Alang - instead of a dyno day we should do a weighbridge day instead. It would actually be quite academic in a way to see what weight penalty all the extra kit and bigger wheels actually add.

Alan, you bring the Lotus, I'll bring the Mini!

This says it all.

For this you'll pay R334 500 for the manual and R351 900 for the automatic model, but the basic 86, at R298 500, still makes the most sense to me.

Haha I'm pretty sure that if the High spec was as readily available as the std there would be a lot more of them around and you okes would be singing a different tune.

But the high spec has heated seats and the standard does not...

One could argue that only real men buy the standard as they aren't afraid of the cold...

@ Alang - back me up here...

@ Ryan86 - you live in Durban so aren't acquainted with cold so you'll have to find another point!

And that's where the fight started...

ROTFLOL! I doubt I'd ever use the heated seats. I drive with the aircon on in winter.

Real men use farts to heat their seats!
