Yeah, they're not bad tbf, like any car they just need looking after and some mechanical sympathy. It's alright revving them and bouncing off the limiter, but not from cold and not on cheap gearbox oil for example! 
Personally, with such a small price difference now, I'd go for the 1.8 over a 1.6, but if I was given a 1.6 I wouldn't turn it down. You don't even need mechanically sympathy with a 1.8 though.
