90 or 115?

[Northman]

I have a 90, and don't find it under powered, in fact find it quite spritly after my old 1.4 petrol.

I had the old petrol 1.6, which was a 110 bhp model. I how have the HDi 90. It feels a lot more powerful than the 1.6 petrol, because not only does it have a lot more torque, it has more power as well - until, of course, you get up to over 4000 revs. Yes, the 1.6 petrol engine had more power over 4500 revs, but I rarely drive at those sorts of revs, hence the HDi 90 has been great for me. So good that I haven't even seriously considered getting it remapped.


I suspect that the OP will find that the HDi 90 engine is fine. However I await the views of those who have driven both the HDi 90 and the HDi 115 engines. There don't seem to be many of them here!

Ive got the 90BHP XTR and nothing wrong with it, even loaded up with luggage it handles very well.
Would you really pay the difference to go 2secs faster??

Before I opted for more power as standard I would check the emission class as
one could be in a higher road tax group.
