2.1 not really any different to the 1.9's (its the same engine) apart from more power... electrical gremlins can occur in the injection system, but not bad..
Same wbx problems can occur.. so give the engine a good once over..

The DJ engine is pretty reliable and powerful (112 BHP) IMHO ... no cat to worry about either and can be converted to LPG to make it quite cheap to run - typically 22mpg running on petrol but 40mpg on LPG. :D
