Did you prefer it to the passat vectra?

Debatable,
Both were similar to drive, both were similar in terms of performance, though I would say the Passat had better pickup on the motorway due to the extra weight of the Mondeo.
But hands down the Mondeo wins for comfort.

Collecting it later so will post a few pics then.
Something completely different for me this time.

Would you not buy a Vectra Vectra and be done with it....:D

I'm going to guess it's a crossover?

punisher5112

Kodiak maybe?

Camry?

But in this case it will lead to a pic of a car and someone being very smug about getting it right so we'll allow it.

Anyways, it's gonna be a 5008

Was just thinking the same nicer than most of the ones that come on the Irish spec cars.

Alright,
Just the one photo for now.

Couple of winnerswon here with the guesses.
Well done Colmcm,

She is Ateca FR
1.5tsi DSG with some options added.

colm_mcm

Nice motor!
First petrol car in how long?

hooch-85

Very nice! I'd say the change to petrol is a nice novelty.

Thanks. I’m told they’re rare enough. It still rides smoother on the 18s than my Civic did.

I was driving one today. Except it wasn't an FR but was a TSI DSG. They are nice to drive very comfortable and practical engine and gearbox suits it well. Well wear.

Bought my first diesel in 2008.
Has been all diesels since then, so nice change to have no more rattly sounds.

It is for sure, I had forgotten how quiet they were

Well wear Vectra looks lovely and great colour, no doubt you will be giving it the full treatment shine wise.

It will be getting something done to it anyway.
Probably a wash and prep ( no machine polish )
then a coat or two of PNS, I tried this on the bonnet and both wings of the Mondeo before I sold it and was quite impressed by it.
Wheels and plastics will be getting the Dlux treatment.

Starting a new job, so had to go on a hunt for a new car that suits all the needs. Honestly never thought I'd see myself in an SUV, but after test driving nearly 20 different cars, I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed and do enjoy driving this car. Bought it just over a week ago, driven to Limerick and back and a load of driving around Cork and used less than a tank.

2016 Renault Kadjar

I'm a big fan of not being a pedantic detailer but I am a fan of a clean car. I wash and hoover the car weekly, religiously. A year or two ago I remember seeing a review for Auto Finesse Tripple, saying it was good for people who wanted max results for minimal effort and budget, right up my street.

Washed with VW's own brand wash and wax and dried with their detailing spray, then gave it a decent coat of the Auto Finesse that I finally picked up the other week. The whole affair took no more than 90 minutes and I'm pleased with how it looks, I put it on the glass, lights and grilles too. Needless to say it rained as soon as I was done, just in time to take the finish off the car. The beads were good and I expect they'll last a bit.







Have done a little over 25k in it now, no issues so far bar a headlight bulb and a tail light bulb that ended up needing a bulb holder, which is a failure that I've never come across with a Japanese car.

punisher5112

Did water get in....? My megane needs a new bulb holder as fog works but side light won't as it eroded....

Looking well the golf and I'm very surprised how reliable the Renault's are.... Were once muck but comfortable but now they're good and comfortable.....

Maybe that's the concussion talking from when I constantly hit me head though ;-) getting in or out

Drive her into the ground!

3 days into the scenic route road trip across the pyrenees. The 3 pot turbo clio has been nice to drive across the mountains.



roads have been epic. we climbed up through the gorges, around the dam and resevoir above laruns in thick cloud for about 40 minutes. Came around this corner find a spectacular moutain top area on the border into spain.

i had one as a rental and was quite impressed by it. She pulled well and was very comfy. Very good on fuel too

Well done on getting the pressed plates. Look so much neater

Atlantic Dawn

Out of interest with the plates, did you use double sided tape on them? I like the no screws look.

colm_mcm

Yeah. Like thin enough foam tape. That’s what I used on the civic in 2012 and they’re still on it.

Gave the interior a good going over today as it wasn't cleaned in a few months:

Duke O Smiley

Looks smart with the wood. Too many F10s have the piano black inserts!

Wailin

An €800 extra too, madness!

bazz26

I didn't like it at first but it's grown on me. Piano Black is too high maintenance, it scratches when you look at it. The oyster (cream) trim and leather is hard work and definitely not for someone who doesn't clean their interior that often or has young children. It gets marked very easily and doesn't hide it very well. I bought a leather repair paint pen off ebay for about €10 and it does a good job especially on the seat bolsters which tend to get most of the abuse from getting in and out of the car.

The piano black is awful when driving on a sunny day, the reflection can be blinding.

Gave the old Fiesta a polish today. She cleans up well.

Off to Kilkenny show tomorrow.

The numbers on the reg look a tad too big.... Or I'm seeing things.

Duke O Smiley

Love that Arthur Daley sticker in the back window of the Fiesta. I found this photo this morning while looking for something else. The car is long gone now but its actually on Donedeal at the minute funnily enough. This was a lot of fun

Now that you say it, there’s certainly more of a gap at the bottom of the Skoda plates. They’re just standard Top Part plastic plates from back in the day.
