Am new to this site and although i have read a few posts i would much appreciate a bit of insider knowledge. As the title says i am after a Signum but the question is which one? Obviously i 'need' all the toys so an elite would be nice, but a design may suffice if i cant find an elite in time (i have a fortnight tops i guess). But which engine would the collective reccomend. I saw the sticky thread about the 2.2 being the most problematic engine in the range so i am steering clear of those. The associated costs (insurance, tax, petrol) with a 3.0 v6 realistically prohibit that for me. So what does that actually leave? 1.9 cdti was my initial starting point as i though a diesel would give good economy and reliability, but is it really that much different for me than say a 2.0 petrol (T or not i dont know the options lol). I guess it would be for no more than 15k miles a year max, and i dont consider myself having a need for a 'fast' car (i have motorcycles for that adrenaline fix) so steady, honest and nicely serviceable are higher up my list. What engines/considerations have i missed out? What would you reccomend please? and finally anybody got a Signum for sale or know of one in a dealer near you (i am in Peterborough so west mids/east anglia is ideal) that would suit the above? Thanks for reading my long post and i appreciate any help. PS dealer i would look at £7k tops as that would include my current heap.... i mean car traded in, private £5.5k as thats all the £££ i can muster and as its my daily transport i need to always keep one on the go rather than flog one and then get another if you see what i mean. I calmly await the collective wisdom
