Would I buy another Vauxhall?
« on: 16 September 2013, 18:02:08 »

With TC slowly disappearing (or certainly for enthusiasts), and now the lack of full diagnostics equipment, I'm not sure I would.

Which brings us to the age old dilema, what?

Brands like Merc, BMW, Audi and possibly VW are out on principle, and Ford are out on safety grounds.

I'm not yet old enough for a Jag

I'd be happy with any one of these, Lexus LS430/LS460, BMW 5 Series either 530i/530d or ideally 535d M Sport an M5 wouldn't be doable i think unfortunately, Mercedes E class, Would like a AMG E55 same as M5 not possible, Audi A6/A8 or the S8 V10 same situation as M5/E55, VW Phaeton.

All too expensive so old Vauxhall's it is then  ;D

Bugger. The two things that were keeping me as a VX owner were TC and access to Tech2 diagnostics >:(

Can you expand please on what the issues are with diagnostics?

I crash them. Self preservation instincts means a Ford will not be on my list of replacement cars.
