Depends on BHP of each unit. 2.0 would be smoother...and can often result in better mpg because the engine isn't working as hard.

R RS2K Registered User Messages 2,251 24 Apr 2007 #6 Both are pretty good. A personal choice. New Mondeo has a 125bhp 1.6 engine, which should be good for Irish VRT, tax and insurance conditions, and should be well up to the task also btw.
