If I get the job I want, I will have a choice of company cars. The best one I can see, is a 57 plate Veccy C, 1.9 CDTi.

Anyone got any experience of this car?

[Danny]

i have little knowledge of it especially as its diesel, what are the other choices?

[TheBoy]

Miles better than the Veccy-B you had

[JamesV6CDX]

Miles better than the Veccy-B you had

Nice as Omega?

To be honest, I'm not impressed with the performance of the GM V6 Anymore. I got thrashed off the lights the other day, and right up to 90mph, by a 2.0 TDi Astra

TBH, i dont think they were ever a racing car engine, more a lazy cruiser. Todays oil burners just do not resemble diesels of a few years ago and the perfomance of modern diesel engines are fantastic

[cem_devecioglu]

I think modern diesel engines are not comparable ...turbo and atmospheric are very different aspects..

wish GM designed the V6 ready for turbo or supercharge..but thats just a dream..

however never see a long lasting trouble free turbo engine..Todays diesels, I want to see them after 10 years  

As an example here the second hand turbo diesels older then 5 years nobody pass near and their prices are low..

No. Certainly not a milecruncher. In true FWD fashion, everything a little stiff.  Bit smaller, esp rear seats.  1.9CDTi is a peeky little motor, performs not bad if you are prepared to put the effort in. Economical.  Not bad build quality for a repmobile - better than Astra-H.  I find them tireing on long trips.

[Admin]

Had one on test the other week for a few days. Not bad.... quite economical and the engine is in many many cars now and is well proven.

Not remotely inspiring to drive but pleasant enough. Not a patch on the new Mondeo though I have to say.

What else is available?

Why?

[Jim]

For the last 2 years I had a 1.9 CDTI 150bhp signum, and loved it, I drove 77,000 miles in it, the 150 bhp 1.9 cdti in much better than the 120 bhp one
