Which Engine (kinda new car thread but not :P )
#1
Ok, which would you choose, Mondeo or Vectra engines around 04/54 plate, but based on engine alone so forget looks and toys.

Gotta be an all rounder so mpg/tax/economy/reliability all important. Completely standard to keep insurance low and not tempt fate with reliability.

Choices -

2.0 TDCI 130 - less powerful, but should still do 50mpg avg, £170 a year to tax same as the others - higher milage 'can' have DMF/DPF and injector issues - but that'll be the same with any newer diesel.

2.2 TDCi 155 - Not driven one of these but appartenly much more torquey, same to tax, possibly a little less mpg but are they any more reliable (would I save more buying a reliable car than a more eco one in other words?).

1.9 CDTi 150 - Can have swirl flap issues and EGR issues, near enough same power and weight as the 155 but cheaper to buy, much higher mpg claimed from these, seems a better all rounder?

Don't need spam about the cars themselves or me or my shit HDi or anything else - just engine choices from the list please.

Cheers Big Grin
