The c20xe engines are done to death for a reson, good power, cheap spares, reliable.
I think its ok to be a bit different when it comes to body styling, wheels and so on, but go for the best engine you can imo.

You want an engine because it looks smart?
I'd rather have one that worked.

Do a 2.2 Eco conversion from a Vectra.
That will be different
