According to book figures, the 1.2 16v is faster over all.
In standard form, the 1.2 16v wud beat the 1.5 TD 0-60, as well as @ top speed........but i reckon the 1.5 TD would still pull away from it 40-80.
But the thing is, a tuned TD wud beat the 16v at any speed. I mean looks at Kris's.......its got 100bhp and over 130lb/trq!! Not much contest there really.
Just depend wots been done really. If the 1.2 has induction kit + 17"s, but the TD is standard, then it'd probably be neck and neck!

Neither cars are of any sort of performance. If its taking over 8 seconds to 60 you might as well do 60mpg with the oil burner!

67 bhp and 97 ib/ft torque.
however from an hours fiddling and £15 on a bleed valve mine made 99 bhp and 132 ib/ft of torque, now that torque figure was only slightly less than fads 2l16v made.
plus there is lots more stuff you can do to them for hardly any money
