Default Is the 18.i the only GDi engine

Hi, been trying to find but there seems to be 2.0i aswell is this also a GDi or is it only the 18.i.

If looking for relabilty what order of engine should I look for, I know its a bit hard to say as everyone will have differant opinions but worth asking.

I come up with this

1.8 petrol
2.0 petrol
2.0 diesel non turbo

Any thoughts welcome

Cheers. Jon

I didn't think a non-turbo diesel engine was released as part of this range.

Will check, but am pretty sure.

Cheers, I can't seem to make my mind up on what engine to get or look for. I will avoid the 18.i but other than that I'm not sure.hmmm more reading me thinks its almost impossible to make a choice maybe avoid the 1.6 too...?

My father had a 2.0 litre S40 CD which he ran for a few years with zero problems and it drove very well.
