Ford focus 2 litre TDCI or 1.6 TDCI ?

[cyber69]

I need to buy my own car because of a change of job soon and i've always liked the Ford Focus. I will be using it mainly on motorway roads for daily commute and currently have a 2.2 diesel company car.

I need my new car to be economical and reliable and I have been looking at getting a diesel focus either 2 litre or the 1.6 model. Can anyone recommend which one I should go for? Is one any more reliable than the other? I think the 1.6 is more economical than the 2.0 litre?

Should I go for the Zetec S model or Titanium?

I read some reviews which give the 1.6 TDCI around 70mpg? So between the two if it came down to reliability would the 2.0 litre or 1.6 be the best?

I'm looking at one around a year old by the way but don't know what MK the model number is.

I'm swinging towards the 2litre now but Zetec S or Titanium? The car will have to last me a good 6 - 10 years.

But then for the money I will spend on a focus I have seen the Skoda Octavia VRS 2litre diesel..........
