Been looking into these myself mate, was gonna purchase on elast year but me and th gf decided to hold horses and think about what else is available.

We are starting to look again at them, i hear the 1.7s are sluggish though i couldnt comment on it myself.

The swirl flap issue and egr valve is supposidly a commen problem on the 16v 1.9 engine. Can be costly aswell.

As far as i know its the only engine with the fault and how commn it is im not ure as you only hear bad things on forums, thats what they are there for.
