My dad had a 1.9 with a 1.6 gearbox back in the day, the acceleration was great.
Is it the extra weight of the 1.9 that has an effect on the steering? I'd be happy with either. Non-sunroof will be the priority.
Probably can't do both financially, not next year at least.
MrBaklava-
Smaller wheels and taller tyres. It’s only a 25kg difference I think so not really a thing, it’s all just standard defensive chat we 1.6 owners have ready to go when someone goes on about the 1.9 being better. :)
You’re right - just get a good one and forget the engine, 99% are horrific.
Be prepared to let go of your non-sunroof ideal or be prepared to be two of; very patient, very lucky, very rich.
Hefty
1.6 FTW. Lighter, revvier, shorter gearing, sweeter ride and steering. Better out of London though. Can you do both?
