Sounds like you've had a good buy Dan 

Are you keeping your CDX also ? 

[Dan282]

Yeah mate the Cdx ain't going anywhere. Just bought it to do a few odd jobs on the cheap and sell on. Didn't pay a lot for it so plans are to check and top up ATF, oil and filter changed, fix glovebox, full valet and see what I can get for her.

Lovely mate 

Hope to catch you at a meet or something in the new year, maybe at Jon's or Dave's ?   

[Dan282]

I'm up for that buddy.

Nice motor there Dan 

What, in your opinion, is the difference between the V6 and the 4 cylinder?

Tunnie said it's more than capable and as I imagine I drive like him I'm thinking this would be ok for me too (thinking about the future ). But would be excellent to get as many views on the difference from as many as poss.

It's just adequate mate. It's cruises nicely but it didn't want to be rushed. Very quiet and good mpg on a run. I'd happily have one.

I think that after a V6 you would be disappointed with it, the fuel difference is hardly noticeable & the V6 even seems to handle better.I know I would miss the grunt of the V6, really depends what you are looking for if it  is better mpg don't bother..

[Dan282]

I would always look for a v6 first if I ever sold mine but if a mint hi spec 2.2 came up is certainly consider it. My 5000 miles a year doesn't really warrant the v6 but I do love it and the monthly journey to Dudley is always a pleasure. 

[Webby the Bear]

It's interesting how people's reports of them are that they're pretty slow compared to the V6. The stats suggest the 4 cylinders are only behind the V6 by a second

......on the 0-62 dash

I regularly switch between 3.2 and 2.2, never disappointed when I jump in my 2.2, smooth, comfy, excellent pence per mile thanks to LPG.

3.2 is a different beast though, it's so easy to be very quick and fully loaded 4 up, with full boot, just goes really really well. 2.2 will struggle there, but with just me in it, goes fine.

[PAULCDX]

Having owned the 2.2 and now 2.6 I have to be honest that I haven't noticed much difference in fuel economy 

I wouldn't hesitate in owning another 2.2 if I had to but I would miss the grunt and power of the V6 tho
