Here is a road test from the April 1993 issue of Performance Car Magazine. The cars featured in the test are the Fiat Tipo 16v, Vauxhall Astra GSi, Ford Escort RS2000, Citroen ZX 16v, and the Renault 19 16v. I put them up as links rather than images cuz they're all so big. Probably best thing to do is save 'em to your pc and you can zoom in enough to read the text then. I'm sure you'll figure out a good way of lookin at 'em. Enjoy..... Very Happy

Considering they put the 1.8 up against 4 2.0's the valver did remarkably well I think, I mean really well!
