N16 sport N16 DCI

Has anybody had the pleasure of driving both the 1.8 sport and the DCI,the 136bhp 6 speed version,how do they compare in terms of handling/mpg/comfort/spec/power etc to each other???
 
I have.

1.8 is nippy but lacks torque. MPG can be mid 30s if driven carefully.

2.2dCi has enough torque and pulls well in all gears. Im getting 42-45mpg at the moment but i dont drive conservatively in any way shape or form. My PB was 56mpg on a 400mile run.

Both drive and handle well. Brakes are a weak spot if driven really hard due to no cooling as standard but for daily with a few spirited drives they are fine.
