Character

1.6 SIDI Turbo A16XHT/A16SHT/B16SHT (MGE)

"GM Medium Gasoline Engine: direct injection, chain-driven, 170 PS (A16XHT) or 200 PS (A16SHT/B16SHT) in Astra J/K, Insignia A/B, Cascada, Zafira Tourer. German used-car guides list no known engine problems; watch intake carbon and oil consumption, and avoid high-mileage automatics. Evidence base is still thin."

X10XE/Z10XE 1.0

"Corsa B/C, Agila. 3-cylinder. Simple, fuel efficient. Head gasket can weep at high mileage. Timing chain. Low power but cheap and reliable city car engine."
