The 1.8 petrol engine has a poor reputation but the turbo version is ok. We bought the turbo and find it a better all round tow car than our previous vehicle a Vauxhall Omega 2.0 litre petrol that we thought would be hard to beat.

Thanks again everybody for your input.

Have bought a 2 litre desil turbo!  Bring on Telegraph Hill!

let us know how you get on with it. seen a nice one today , 2.0 cdi tourer , yet another model on the ever expanding list of possible towcars. was interested in an alfa 156 but a bit short of room in the back , even the sportwagon not over generous so now out the running.

new shape mondeo tdci has good reports but would like something a bit different.out of interest, which is the better diesel engine , Rover 75, Mondeo . Passat or Vectra ??

seems to be many different engines in the mondeo , 90ps, 130 ps etc ?
