Thinking about one, just wondering which engine to go for the 8v or 16v 1.9?

Is the Sportive SE really worth the higher prices?

Depends what you want. Engine size may be linked with payload etc etc.

tbh, even a 1.7 CDTi will be sufficient. It's a van at the end of the day.

about 600 miles to a tank on the motorway, with some booting it?
how is that not good on fuel?

the 8v 120 is good, but if you can get the 16v 150 then that is the one to go for, box or remap to 200bhp and fit cruise control

E36 328
