Not quite true.

6 speed box is one of the weakest in the range. ME type will take the power without a problem.

There are some cars here (ZX16V) fitted with gearboxes from XanTD
and they claim higher top speeds.

What an earth possessed you to buy a C5, unless its a new one of course. I learnt my lesson with BXs, let alone anything later :D
Would rather be driving ONE 16v,than fixng TWO.

NZ16, some of the newer models are great, my Berly 2002 1.4 just runs
no problems at all.
At 145k kms I have changed clutch set, alt., left power window, 2 link rods,
2 times timing belt, 1 x water pump , 1 frt brake pad set, 1 set frt brake disc, 2 x clutch cable. the rest are stock ori... most of the wear and tear plus P/W and alt were replaced at 125-130k kms basically I am very happy with it. Even a fren with a Xsara Pic and another with a C4 1.6 are pretty happy
not much problems.
