Yeah, I mean the hatch mate.
The decent models (SRi, SXi, GSi) had either the 1.8, 2 litre, 2.2 or 2 litre turbo engines.
The 2 litre is crap, the 1.8 is better as the engine is lighter (small block engine instead of a big block) and has nearly as much power, it's half a second quicker to 60 than the 2 litre, with no difference in the top speed.
Basically, just avoid the 2 litre unless it has a turbo
