I have the 1.6 and have never driven a 1.5 but there is not much differance between the two. The Rio is actually a pepply little car. Sometimes it would be nice to have more, but that is y some of us mod out engines LOL. The stock 1.6 engine has about 90 HP at the wheels. With just 3 engine mods, I dyno'ed at 100 whp (HP at the wheels). I have done more since then and have a lot more power. I need to get back to the dyno and see where I sit now. I also have a Garret T-25 turbo sitting in my garage that I am working on getting parts to install it. That will add a "little" bit of oomph to her LOL
