depends what kind of power your after. a 1.6 with some nice little things done to it will obviously be lighter than a 2.0.

I went from a 1.6 to a 2.0. The handling isn't too bad. You can tell you've got a bit more weight on the front end, but it's hardly unstable. At any speed.

With the right set-up a 2ltr Corsa handles brilliantly. Me and Willay know that.

Agree with Pickford,
And with the xe its the extra accelerationa s well as topd end, and it will give quite a few standard cars a good run for their money

1.6s are easy to tune up to about 140 bhp and then your looking at silly money to get it to to the power of a 2ltr and its not got the tourqe. i know 1.6s can be made quick but for a lot of power on the cheap a 2.0 is the best to stick in.
