Which diesel engine?

I have a Ford Fiesta 1.25 06 reg. Would like to change to a similar size car but diesel for economy, this is essential.

Am interested in Citreon C3 1.4 HdiVTR - 12 to 18months old. Your comments and advice would be appreciated.

Not a very good engine. Better the 1.6 diesel.

Neat styling. The 1.6 HDi is a decent all-rounder. Excellent ride.
