Have had a quick search and can not find a similar thread.
Im in the process of selling my X5 and looking to get another facelift vectra.
have owned 2.0T pre - 2 1.9cdti 150 autos(no problems at all manifolds all fine) and a 2.2 se
problem is I'm down grading so only looking to spend £2500 which only really leaves my with 2 options the vvt or the direct and the last 2.2 I owned was terrible and the engine died due to poor compression and terrible oil consumption(rings).
Dont really want to buy a cdti on a budget and 2.0t are few and far between especially with £2500
only reason for even considering the 2.2 is they seem the cheapest to buy and there 6 speed with lower millage.
Is the direct much better than the se? is there really any benifit to buying a direct over the vvt?
have seen a 3.0 cdti on a 06 with 85k for slightly more but worried about buying a cdti for under 3k
any opinions welcome thanks
