Vauxhall Vectra or Ford Mondeo

Shorty69664

Hi all,

I have a choice of a 07 VAUXHALL Vectra 1.9 CDTi Exclusiv (150BHP) or a 07 FORD Mondeo 2.0TDCi 115 LX.
Both Diesels, pretty much the same cost and with 32000 mile on the clock(Importing from UK).

Which should I choose????

Apart from the Engine in the Vectra which one of the best, it has little else going for it.

I'd go with the Mondeo, although I'd try and get a 130bhp version and a higher spec than LX.

Well the Vauxhall will be harder to shift afterwards but its more powerful and the engine is a good one too.

If it was me I'd try find a 130 brake Mondeo with a minimum of a Zetec Spec though

robtri

if it was me and these where the only two choices... vectra each and every time.... that engine is a little cracker....
its not as nice to drive as the mondeo... but the engine makes up for it...


now it would be interesteing if you where looking at a 130 mondeo with zetec or above spec.... that would be a different matter

How much does that Vectra cost?

new or old shape mondeo?

The spec on both is fairly basic. I think cargiant had a Vectra Elite Hatch on recently for peanuts. If I was getting the Vectra it would have to have Design or Elite spec, Sri is nice too.

SRi has manual rear windows, that would be enough to put me off, nice looking car through.

Elite or Design is certainly the way to go. These cars are so cheap in the UK at the moment.

Both cars are £5995 (Sterling)

The Mondeo is the old version.

Thanks for all the input guys. Kinda leaning towards the vectra but no decision yet

I'm keepin my eye out for a 150 cdti vectra too, had a drive of one a wee while back and it was a lovely drive. They are so much cheaper in the uk its unreal. Was in a garage in sligo yesterday and the cheapest they had was a bog standard 02 petrol for 8900E. For that kind of money in the uk you'd get an 06 full spec diesel with low milage.

I have it from Vauxhall UK that the warranty is covered for 2yrs on a Vauxhall import

If you could put the engine from the Vectra into the Mondeo you'd have a decent car! I'd go Mondeo, but I'm no fan of that engine in it. Vectra has a decent engine, but the rest is sub-par for the course.

you should try get a Mondeo Ghia X 130bhp
has leather and all the toys
