But your 3.2 elite isnt,and that has to be a better car in every way apart from the fuel bill surely ?
Im glad you didnt come up with some objective reason why the CD is best, as Ive almost completely converted my CD to elite spec. ;D

The Elite is nice, its got all the toys, its quick, you can see better at night, and tunes sound better.  8)

But. After nearly a year, driving the 2.2 today, its home for me. Nice warm cloth seats, smells like home too. Memories of countless road trips all over the UK & Europe. Not expecting anyone else to seriously think a 2.2 CD is better than an Elite, but is so for me.

Elite is growing on me, think it needs LPG and a few road trips for us to bond!

I do love the CD wheels, theyare simple and good looking, sadly I would have them over any Elite wheel I am afraid. Of course it is just my opinion.Each to there own of course  ;D

Oh and if your into painted calipers they show up nice on CD wheels. Not that I have ever painted my calipers, but I am sure you get what I mean.
