From: Paul on
Would really welcome some advice as to which (UK) diesel variant to buy. I
have a daily commute of around 60 miles, mostly motorway, and initially
thought the 2.0 116 BHP model (which is hard to find) would be best for me.
Having read the reviews however the 1.4 90 BHP version seems to get rave
reviews for its pulling power and fuel economy of over 60 mpg.

Can anyone just offer a brief opinion of the comparison or I'd be interested
to hear comments about the 1.4 performance on Motorways and overtaking, for
example. On the face of it a 1.4 appears a bit small for me but I can be
convinced otherwise!

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Paul

Regardless of the opinions you receive, I recommend that you take the car
you are interested out for a test drive ;-)
