1.8 FTW!! I had one in a Meridian, most reliable car I ever had! My mate had one in an XS and had no problems in about 4 years (until someone drove into it!). I'd have another if they didn't drink so much lol.
Only issues they seem to get are ICV and coil pack...
Edit - The 1.8 16v was 112bhp standard, which yes, is terrible considering what they drink lol. I liked the power delivery though, nicer than turbo diesel delivery imo. A remap won't give you much gain due to being NA....you'd need some more mods to make it worthwhile.
Also if you are getting one, make sure it's before Y reg, the tax gets expensive after that!
