What are you after? Performance or looks?
If performance (and looks) I wouldn't be getting a pug!

I prefer a 180 over a 175
But i would have the 175 because of the looks. But i advise unless you know alot about them or actually work for a stealer ship, prepare for bills

Funny you should mention that, PSA had words with BMW and asked if they suffered the same faults with the SAME engine.
They said they suffered from nothing, so PSA have had to revise the engine to make it better/reliable
