Depends how you drive it, I'd avoid the V5 engine though, the 2.8 V6 is a better all rounder.

Lots, 1.8t is the better choice all round

150/170bhp from a 2.3 litre engine? No thanks

And a complete pain to get more power out of, 1.8t is 150 or 180 to start with and a remap transforms them.

If you're only getting 29mpg our of a 2.2 ecotec, I'd avoid the v5!

Lots of people saying they have a multitude of faults, but no one naming a single one..

You will struggle to get a better spec car for the price, the Toledo V5s in particular are bargainisous

Get a later 20v one (170bhp) and enjoy the torque. The mk3 Vr was 2.8 litre and 174bhp, so the V5 is hardly dropping the ball.

If you want a proper power house car then best to go out and buy one out the box, ie not a V5 or a 20vt

yes but the AUQ 1.8T has 180bhp so better power straight away and will return better MPG. No brainer IMO
