Hi all - i'm thinking of looking at some 5s, but i didnt realise there was a difference in powers of 1.6 models ??? How do i tell which is which (90 or 115)

Simple. Avoid UK 1.6 from 94 onwards. All JDM 1.6 and all UK 1.6 up to 93 were 114bhp

To complicate matters, 1.8s also come in different powers. There was 128, 130, 131 and 133 depending on year and market. I have no idea which was when or where though and to be fair it probably makes next to no difference anyway
