• 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.

  • 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.

  • Yeah I figured I might have to learn to love the sunroof.

    The ideal situation would be to pick one up that has an Mi16 fitted - hopefully saving some cash in the process since it doesn't have the original engine.
