I would go for the 2.5 or 2.6 Elite with manual box, not quite as fast as the 3.0 but if chosen right, can have all the toys ie heated leather, Sat Nav, Bose CCRT700 stereo and be a bit more economical ;)

Like Pete says, 2.5-2.6 Elite :y Unless you want a little less speed & more economy, then go for a 2.2-2.5 diesel. Depends on how much you wana spend too. The 2.2 diesel is slightly more powerful than the 2.5 :y
Best advice i can give is go for a few test drives at the car dealers near you & make up your own mind. Look for a good FSH ;)

Post by: CDX_Steve on 16 December 2008, 02:26:28: Hi
I'm new here as well, I just changed my old 3.0 Elite for a 2.6 CDX, the 2.6 seems faster to me, maybe my 3.0 was always running wrong, who knows why, just had the cam belt and water pump changed, and the thermostat, VX charged £700, and that was the lowest quote I got from all the VX service places around here, most wanted £800 :o
