Which cars have a naturally aspirated engine of 1600cc?
I'm looking to buy a modest petrol engined family/supermini. I dislike turbos for their turbo lag. Can you tell me which cars I might consider that have a naturally aspirated petrol engine of circa 1600cc please?

Mazda Skyactiv 1.5 and 2.2 petrol engines don't have turbos. But all the old non-turbo 1.6s are best avoided in favour of the new 1.2
three-cylinder and four-cylinder turbos. They don't suffer from lag. Try a Peugeot 308 1.2 Puretech 130. Puts out 230Nm torque. You'll be amazed.
