Whats your driving style?
Do you like cars with a bit of power and give them some beans from time to time or not bothered?
If not too bothered about power then 1.8 will be fine, they do a 2.2 too which is a bit faster

Drive sensible 95% of the time but do welly it now and then but within reason depending what mood im in.
I would cry if i was to put £60 a week in any car
Do 150- 160 miles a week max.
