Hi i have a 1.6 and despite the derision for them here, find it to be a good car. (considered to be underpowered and weak gearboxes - probably professed by those who flog the crap out of their cars...lol)
However it greatly benfits from being a manual, and if you were looking for an auto, get the 2 litre or it will be too sluggish.
