Vectra C - New Purchase - HectorV50
Hi, I'm looking for some advice please.

I'm thinking of a new Vectra Hatch or Estate and quite fancy the 1.9 CDTi (150bhp)

What esperiences do people have of this engine?

How does this compare to the typical 2.0DTi and 2.2DTi engines in the Vectra.

I'm not buying new .... getting from a supermarket

Are there any problems with the Dti engines noted?

The 1.9 CDTi engines are light years ahead of the DTi engines in performance, economy and particularly refinement, that being said even the 150 is no where near as torquey as the Mondeo TDCi 130 (315 nm v 350 nm) so feels less punchy on the road and has to be revved to produce it's best performance.

Also note Vauxhall have just announced a facelift Vectra so there might be deals to be had on the current model.

Regards.
