Nope 1.8 8V and 1.8 16V
The driver is a nice car mate! 1.8 mind you.

not stats depends what you prefer to drive i think.
Ultimately the 16v is slightly faster but with an 8v you get power as soon as u touch the throttle you dont have to wait for the 3000rpm mark.
All a preference.

Avoid the 1.6 - the engine is OK but not a patch on the 8V and 16V 1.8s. 8V 1.8 is a nice compromise between power and insurance expense. Very torquey around town. 1.8 16V is very very easily tuneable...
