Hi guys,

I'm still looking for the best option to upgrade from my J10 1.6 diesel. I found it to be a great engine with 130 bhp and good enough torque.

What would be the best equivalent or better option in the J11, please?
I've been looking at the 1.3 140 bhp but am wondering about the torque under load, i often have 2 adults in the back over 6ft.
My father has the 1.2, and it's quite lacking in power. You have to really push it to get anywhere, especially on motorways.
I've also seen the 1.7 diesel. Does anyone have any experience with it? It looks interesting with 150 bhp.

Cheers
Beware the dreaded thermostat housing time bomb :shock:
