1.3 8v (55bhp), 1.4 8v(60bhp), 1.6 8v (75bhp & 100bhp), 2.0 8v (115bhp), 2.0 16v (150bhp)

none have turbo's (well the 1.9tdi did.... and the 1.9sdi)

look for wheel bearing issues, and terminal rust.

what engine do you want? I'd suggest the 2.0 8v for commuting if it's traffic. the 16v could become tiresome in traffic. both the 2.0's are good for 40mpg on a run

Ditto the comments on the 2.0 8v - great engine in a great car.

will let you know what the 2.0 8v's like to drive when I pick it up tomorrow night

check cambelt has been done if the car's reached 60k.... going to be one of the 1st things I do one mine, as the guy doesn't know if it's been done or not !!!

60k or not, they'll all be >6 yrs old

mileage & age are irrespective - go for condition & history

i got to say 16v's are wicked!!! they seem to just keep pulling when other cars dont!! mine is so much fun!!!
