none really - the gsi came with 2 diff engines, the ecotec 1.6 and redtop 1.6

the redtop has 3 more bhp and a subsequent slightly quicker 0-60 time.

the ecotec engine from the gsi is the exact same on as found in the sport

People put too much thought into the 1.6 engine.
All it is good for is driving to the scrap yard to look for a 2.0

Yes but no torque.

Nice around town, but needs pushing when on motorways.

he means the PSA 1.6 but Joff does not understand that a 2.0L into a saxo/106 is not easy and requires more than dropping it in

No, I have not paid any attention to the Saxo/106.
