it would be about £2k for a v6, and when your going to spend that amount of money your better getting a low mileage car, that runs well. It would take a long time to offset fuel costs, really then you would do it for the sound and power of the v6 engine.

Tell you what, if you can find me a Zafira DTi Elegance with less than 100k & under £3k round your way, we can meet at Gaydon & do deals in August...


Seriously though, it may be an idea to have a go in a couple of 110s to see how you like it. To be honest, mine doesn't exactly feel like a rocket to me, but that could be where I got spoilt with a month of brand new rental diesels recently. You may end up driving one & thinking that it isn't worth the extra cost over your car. Don't drive a 2.2 HDi unless you're definitely going for that either - otherwise a 110 will never feel right afterwards.


I'm now thinking maybe Doggy should share the blame with the hire company for my disillusionment with my 110s performance...
