I'm looking (hoping!) to get the Mrs a half decent focus for about £1300, tough job i know!

A mate says the 1600 lump is weak, and to go for the 1800 or 2000.
It doesn't really matter about performance etc as it a round town and the odd 10 mile journey on a duel carriageway car.

What's the problem with the 1600 engine then? Pro's and Con's anyone
