Unfortunately, the only manual transmission available on the 1.6 is a 5-speed, where the 1.8 gets 6 cogs.

The horsepower wars are over! Everybody lost!
I don't mind the loss of a gear as long as the last gear is the same in both trannys.

I have the same 5th gear as lovemysan, and it's definitely at it's limit. But, since I use it as a commuter on the flat most of the time, I don't have to resort to 4th as much.
