Yeah, 1.4 85-90bhp diesel, nippy but the 1.6 engine is still 1000000x better

They do a 1.6D on the latest model. Think its about 110bhp.

Before they facelifted, it was a shitty 1.4D. It really wasn't rated for its drive, and only really sold on its looks. New newest model has a 1.6D which I think is a Peugeot engine, like the petrols. Better, but by no means great. There are a lot better diesel hot hatches out there for the money.

if it's the 110bhp peugeot diesel engine then that's the one we build in ford? never knew we had a contract with BMW Mini  we do have a contract with Peugeot though so they could be selling them on to BMW Mini.
excellent engine if so
