1.6ltr/1.7ltr engines.

Just a guess but I would think the shorter stroke on the 1.6 allows it to 
turn a bit more rpms so a bit more HP can be achieved. Although for my personal 
taste torque is really what matters on the street. A car with more torque is 
always (for me anyway) a bit more enjoyable around town.
