1.6 HDi Exclusive (92bhp) 5d 1560 / 4 92 109 13.4 55 7
1.6 HDi Desire 5d 1560 / 4 110 114 11.5 55 7
1.6 HDi Exclusive 5d 1560 / 4 110 114 11.5 55 7

2.0 HDi LX 5d 1997 / 4 90 109 12.2 51 6
2.0 HDi SX 5d 1997 / 4 90 109 12.2 51 7
2.0 HDi Desire 5d 1997 / 4 90 109 12.2 51 6
2.0 HDi Desire 2 5d 1997 / 4 90 109 12.2 51 6

Interesting stuff. A 2.0 diesel with 90 bhp (electronically limited no doubt!). Why?!?

The 110bhp 1.6 HDi's stand out to me. Better power with same running costs.

Oh and as for the advice to buy one year old or as new as possible, i'd disagree. The more you pay for a car, the more value it has to lose. New cars are just a snob thing mostly IMO. Most cars easily have a 15-20 year lifespan. There's some real 5-7 year old bargains out there.

Wasn't sure if the link would work, but it appears not.
