End of the day this is the question the OP needs to ask:
"Am I the kind of person who can't perservere with anything and get's bored/frustrated and therefore gives up easily?"
If the answer is yes, buy a 1.8xs. Minimal maintainence, fast, cheap and fun.
If the answer is no, then buy an XUD engined car, it's far more rewarding to work on it yourself and know that when you get the results from setting it up right, it is down to you're hard work and perserverence.
There are very few cars that you can modify on next to no budget, the XUD engined cars are one of them.
