My new car...

i dunno what to buy how are alfa romeo 156s? passats are abit dull and A4's are abit expensive

oh knows

e46

:(

The Vectra-C is easily as good build quality wise as a Mk3 Mondeo, having driven loads, the Vectra-C is actually a bit more refined then the MK3 mondeo, especially on the motorway. I can't remember any journo reviews that didn't rate the Vectra's interior quality, the quality of plastics is high, people just seem to slate the hard plastic centre section where the controls are, it's designed to be like that, and oddly, looking at modern fords, they've also gone down this route..


@Phate - I really like the ZS as well, nice choice. I don't care how old the platform is it's based on, so what? , it's a hoot to drive, quite raw, quite retro, but quite capable.. not everyone's cup of tea, but certainly no where near the disaster people make out..

i'm willing to spend more for better build quality, i was in a 53 plate vectra sri today that seemed better built then my mondeo and looked nicer aswell, off to test drive a 2.2 sri tommorrow its £3500 with 100k miles 52 plate iirc

And your insulting Phate for buying an MG...what a muppet...
:p
P.S. Enjoy the MG Phate...as long as your happy who gives a **** what a bunch of computer geeks on the 'net think.

Are you insane? The Vectra is awful, it's only better built if you've just had the senses in your fingers burnt off in a horrific yachting accident.

You got a great bargain and you are about to spend £2000 more on an inferior Vectra thats only a year newer? Somebody get him a straight jacket.

If you want a better car, buy one, don't buy a Vectra.

i also much much prefer the vectras :/

After looking at a picture of each or driving each?

both pictures and to drive.

must have done about 10 000 miles in both

liked everything about the vectra better , except "those" damn indicators
 
oh well i might just get a mondeo zetec-s v6 then i don't think my head is on straight today, but going on MEG and on here i do get pretty bored with having a mondeo

Why not keep what you've got for more than 5 minutes? :p
