Just wondering if there is much difference in performance between the two models? Been looking for a vexccy for a few weeks and there seem to be more 1.8vvt's about.
Welcome any thoughts.
Cheers

Yes mate I have driven both and 2.2 Direct hands down 1.8 gets the better on eco side of things but the 2.2 Direct is still very good on petrol
1 Thing I would say I think the 1.8 is alittle more realiable as there is no high pressure fuel pump to go as far as the 1.8 is concerned I think its a good all rounder and it is not slow as some people make out
The 1.8 vvt is 140 bhp I think and I am currently running a 98 SRI 140 so happy with that. I like the 2. 2 and the twin exhaust but seem to be able to get a good deal on a 1.8 vvt compare to a 2.2
Seen a nice 1.8vvt on 07 plate for £5600 with 28K miles!
Wow nice mate I go for the VVT then mate I think there great cars 140bhp Is enough and it does pull.
The 2.2 Direct on the other hand is alittle more powerful and has more Torque and becuase its Direct injection good on fuel to
Why dont you test drive them both see what you like best then you will know if your missing out on much.
As for me I wanted that extra power and Torque plus the major things for me were the 2 Smokers at the back love them
problem is all car I have seen for sale require a fair bit of travelling. Not really seen a 2.2 for sale, so was getting a little impatient so looked at the vvt.
That looks like a VXR mate
It certainly aint standard and think I coudl live without the two exhausts cos it does look smart. I think so anyway and for me BLACK is the only colour
Looks well nice mate Plus you can get the dual exhausts fitted you just need the backboxes and the Y piece thats all have alook around on here sometimes theres people selling them or have alook on ebay.
does not cost much to get it done then you have your 2 exhausts and that lovely car mate
BTW same mate black is the color for me also looks well nice when clean wish mine shined like that I think it needs a good cleaning now
It is the best when polished and gleaming.
Sorry mate....get polishing! Job for the weekend
oh yes it is mate Love black when its gleaming.
I have a meet next sunday Going to try and get it shined for then
