lsi - 90/100bhp (ins group 10)
lsi coupe - 105bhp (ins group 10)
esi - 125bhp (ins group 13)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
all eg shape (92-92)

if you live in a low risk area and got 1 years NCD then you might get an esi for around £1500 a year at 18, lsi's should be about £1000-£1200 as for vti's dont bother checking it'll just upset you

thank you! i thought the lsi's were about that bhp, not sure if their quicker than my mk2b sporting... i looked for insurance on the vti a while ago... could have bought a really nice ep3 type r for the money they wanted lol

1.4i wasn't a vtec

95/96 1.5 lsi (16v vtec) is 117bhp.

vti was 160 and 130 iirc


I think....

I've got a '94 esi, 125bhp originally, , IG 13. Costs me £110 a month. I'm a girl, 21, live in a 'good' postcode (park on road though) with 1 year NCB and 2 years licence. It pains me to pay that much, I'm only having the car until my Puma is fixed...if you're looking to buy an esi let me know!!

cool, where abouts do you live? im going to buy one..
