i was thinking this.
a lot more insurance friendly than an XE and cheap as well by the looks of it.
for us poor/young people XE can get a little costly

not true. they will base the insurance cost on it being a higher power engine conversion. whether its a 1.8 or a 2.0 there wont be much difference.
get a 1.6 16v and tune it. better to insure and more tuning options.

C18XE is a stonking engine, similar to the 16XE but with larger bore but same stroke IIRC? was found in the Astra mk3 Cesaro and some GSi's i believe

in fact, after seeing pics of the C18XE, I think it is a reduced bore version of the 20XE

The never made a 8v ecotec though
