No Vauxhall dont do that, but it is easily possible. Honda's are just revvy junk with silly rev limits. | |

Like you said Ash, go for the newer model, chances of lower mileage for the sake of 3bhp and slightly better response to tuning quote: Yup Honda manage to squeeze 240bhp out of the 2.0 they stick in the S2000, its a shame Vaux cant do that | |

Buy the Ecotec, it'll be newer with lower mileage. | |

Ecotec or non-Ecotec, the engines are both pretty shite. Go for the best condition car/mileage you can find for your money. | |

trouble with a pre-ecotec is that you'll have trouble finding one thats in gd condition. | |

Ecotec just has EGR system and more restricted inlet for emissions purposes. I think the bottom end is the same - but I could be wrong? | |
