Hi All
My first post & just after a small piece of advice. I Have to decide which to go for the options are:

1.6 HDI DStyle on a 12 plate in Silver, 5,000 miles or the 2.0 HDI DStyle (135) 9,000 miles in bourraaque Blue same age.Coming from an Insignia ST CDTI (160) I feel the the 1.6 may be a little under powered.I have test driven a 1.6 & it seemed quiet nippy
Thanks All
Oh by the way I have give an answer on the 1.6 1st thing

Hi and welcome.
I thought the same about the 1.6 and couldn't understand the 135 because it was cheaper but appeared to have the same mpg and performance as the 160 . I decided to have the 2.0 hdi 160 and don't regret it . The 160 is more popular so I would look around andtry a160 .

The 160 is the best engine and touches 200bhp when chipped.This is same engine Ford use in their Galaxy / Focus and SMax in both 138 and 163 versions.


If you cannot get one of them, from your choice I would plump for the 1.6HDI 112bhp as it is a much lighter engine about 60kgs so offsets its power loss somewhat. It will be cheaper on fuel and also tax and insurance I suspect.

I got the 2.0L HDI, and it's lush. Iv driven the 1.6L and it just doesn't have that pull in the engine when u accelerate. X
Good choice


I was driving a 1.6 hdi 90 DS3 before my 2.0 hdi 160. Once the warranty has run out on mine I'm getting it remapped. I got 55mpg the other day so you'll also get good fuel economy.

Enjoy

What colour is it? Looks a little darker than mine. If you have your car mapped/chipped after the warranty runs out, would that void the insurance if your in an accident.? X
Like any mod tell your insurance company and you'll be covered. Swift Cover won't cover a remap so always check first. Specialist insurers are the best option.
