1.9 CDTi all the way for fuel economy, even if they will be a bit more expensive to buy. 120 or 150 would do I'd have thught...

The 1.8 is too small a engine for a big car like the vectra , you be better off getting the 2.2 maybe a bit more expensive but more performance and same fuel bills , if i was you i get the 1.9 cdti ...

i would love to get the CDTi 150 so i could use it on long runs as my car is a bit greedy lol, but she only wants a petrol

Im sure you guys must have a lead right foot!!!! I get 33-39mpg from my 06 Sri depending on whether its a long or short run, I really have nothing to complain about on reliability either, worst that happened was the wiper motor went but replaced quickly under warranty and not a hiccup since, she's been a joy!!!

i know its a small engine mate but the 1.8 would suit the mrs better, she dont go far enough or put her foot down really to use the power
