Basically you need to decide which is more important to you, performance or economy. The 1.4 will go faster and accelerate quicker, but will cost you more both to buy and to run. In the UK, the cost differential may be greater than in other geographic regions because the tax & duty system favours the 1.2.

The best suggestion I have is to drive both & decide if, for you, the extra performance is worth the extra money.

I've a sneaking suspicion that petroluem products may be a little more freely (and cheeply) available in the UAE where the OP hails from, so the differenc ein running costs is probably less of an issue.

Sportman - what is the current cost of unleaded fuel in UAE?
