Hyundai i10 1.1 Style

I have a Hyundai i10 comfort with the 1.2 engine it;s brilliant, it will cruise along all day at 80 at just over 3k revs, the engine is very quiet , road noise depends on surface, but it can be noisy, there is quite a bit of wind noise at speed but the wonderfull radio blocks all that out. I can't understand why people have bought the 1.1 version. The more powerfull and refined 1.2 is only £200 more. i read that some owners find the ride hard, i don't understand that, mine is supple, the car feels bigger than it is and remained comfortable after a 70 mile run. just clocked 2k the only fault yet is an intermitant rattle from rear, just started yesterday. think it's the seat belt pivot , out of reach! dam it, checked every thing else can't find anything loose, apart from that it's exellent especialy for the money.
