2012 (from 62plate / facelift) is the ecoflex 165ps engine.

Mine doesn't feel heavy or maybe I'm just used to it.

Is it still a good engine?? It comes with bang up to date service history.

However the 1.7 is a bit slow off the line and slow to kick in within each gear. However I personally re-mapped mine and it's miiiillesss better! But if you're not wanting to mess around with re-maps then the 2 litre may be better for you

This is my concern with 1.7 v 2.0. The 2.0 that indrove today seemed soo heavy and bulky. The off the line speed dont bother me as its for the wife. Just dont want to get lumbered with massively large repair bills.
