Hello, i have a 1998 Marea ELX and there is written "1.6 16v" in the front of the car. But today i saw a same car of mine and there is "100 16v" written there. My 1.6 is "1600cc" but what does "100" mean in that car? (If you sat the hp of the car, mine is 100hp too)

"Facelift" version. 100 is the hp.
In your case, different engine (sensors, injectors, plastic intake and possibly different geometry, 182A4 vs 182B6 engines: smaller bore, longer stroke, same as stilo engine), different electrics.

To simplify you have the better engine

Based on what?
The faclift had both the short (A4) and long stroke (B6) 1.6.
The engine stayed the same, just upgraded electrics. Then B6 replaced it.

Based on the my Bravo hlx which managed 143bhp from A4 engine
My B6 Marea never managed that

so, which is better?

A4, just read about the 1.6 on stilo and oil consumption. But even if it reads "100 16v" it can be A4 or B6, that is what I was aiming with "based on what". The upgraded electrics A4 are bit more realiable.
