Advice needed

[spurswes]

Hi all,I'm after some advice,I've just seen that the 1.8 Style 59 plate is about 123 hp,I've got a 55 plate Zetec which is 99/100 roughly. My question is does driving a 59 plate Style feel nippy as it's also based on Torque, or is it best to go with a 1.8 Zetec later on instead. Advice for around the 2009 mark is much appreciated....Thanks

Personally i would go for the 2.0 Duratec HE engine instead of the 1.8 Duratec HE engine. Despite the difference in power and torque in real life both the 1.8 and 2.0 Duratec HE have pretty much the same fuel consumption.

Next to this the 1.8 Duratec HE does not run as nice as the 2.0 Duratec HE. The 1.8 Duratec HE (especially the Flexifuel version) can run pretty bad/rough when cold.
