the 1.8 guzzle far more fuel around town, but it is alot smoother out of the town than the 2.0, but out of the two i would chose the 2.0, 1.8 is jumpy and uses stupid amount of fuel around town/cities.

but overall these cars changed the way people looked at vauxhall's, there comfy, quite reliable and faster than other cars in it's region. also feel a lot better built than vectra's/corsa's out at that time.

Ok thanks. Was thinking of getting one at the end of the year or waiting longer and saving up for a mk4 GSI.

Think if i get an SRI it would be the 2.0 na as ive seen some nice examples at reasonable prices recently
