Get a 1.4 Sport, or if you can, get the 1.6 Sport. Engines should last longer then the older SRi.

All 1.4 16v engines that go into any corsa b's are the the same. There is no non ecotec 1.416v. All are x14xe. The difference in engines are only in 1.6's. Gsi's had c16xe (non ecotec) and sports had x16xe which is ecotec and 3 bhp less than the c16xe.
