    What 1.6 car are you upgrading to?

    Unless it's a big heavy car with a tiny 1.6 engine i'd say the difference will be unnoticeable.

    No, he means that a 1.6 petrol in a BMW or Audi is a waste of time it's so slow, and doesn't exist in a Honda Accord.
    If you're talking about cars of similar size, then the difference is tiny. Like a 1.4 Focus versus a 1.6 Focus, the difference is small. A 1.6 A4 versus a 1.8 A4, you're probably better off with the 1.8, as the 1.6 struggles a bit and hence is thirstier than an engine under less stress.
