Default My god I can’t make a decision!!

Im crap at deciding at the best of times but now im really stuck on what car to buy

Just need a normal car and today I thought I had decided but then I see something else.

So the choices are mondeo TDCI 130 zetec S [52 plate]

Vectra sri 2.2 [52 plate]

Now I really like the vectras and I know that are very similar cars but I need help as im all confused now

Btw it was a dead cert that I was going for the vectra today until I see the mondeo tonight

help

I would get an older car and get a nice Audi A4. I love mine depsite the piss taking I give it. Refined and comfy and I don't feel like a plank when I get out of it.

Should see the looks I got turning up to a meeting wearing a suit and climbing over a roll cage

Because i had a brand new one about 3 years ago as a rental when my Bimmer got written off and it was awfull mate. Forget how it drove it was the dashboard plastic that i hated the most.
Get the Mondeo but don't go spending stupid money on it as there are loads about

driven both the mondeo is loads better get the 130 ps one though.
The vectras are ok but the 2.2 is crap in my opinion the 1.9 cdti is a better engine though (its not made by vauxhall )

Currently using an 02 mundane-oh as hack and can't fault it.

A mate of ours runs a large vauxhall specialists [i won't mention the name in case you go there ] and I've driven alot of the new vectras and astra etc. and must say they're shit he only sells stuff still under manufacturers warranty and they're shocking

If he was actually paying the refurbishment bill, rather than sticking them into Vauxhall's under the warranty he'd have been skint 5 minutes after starting

However, value for money wise the signums are a lot of car for the money
