Vauxhall Agila - what difference does Eco Flex make?

I'm looking to buy a used Vauxhall Agila. I can afford a 2008 model and I've seen some with an EcoFlex badges and some without for the 1.0 engine. Were all the Agila's fitted with EcoFlex Engines? Are they all the same 1.0 engines or are the ones labelled EcoFlex different?

Doesn't seem to be much difference: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/vauxhall/agila-b-200.../ Original 1.0 and EcoFlex that came in from November 2010 both under 120g/km. Adequate and practical for town and suburbs. Not so good on the motorway.

I am thinking of getting a nearly new Peugeot 2008 (up to a year old). However, I'm not sure which petrol version to get. I have seen two engines (VTI and Puretech) - could you advise of the difference?
As an avid reader of your weekly column I thought you might be able to help with the following: I've seen a 2011 Renault Grand Scenic automatic for sale with a 2.0 petrol engine. In your 'car by car'...
If you had the choice between a Volvo V60 T3, Volkswagen Passat 1.4 TSI or a SEAT Leon ST 1.4 TSI (all 2013 models) which would you buy?

Surprisingly spacious small five-door city car. Makes best sense with 1.0 petrol engine. Much better than old Agila. Rebadged version of Suzuki Splash.
