Going to look at a car tomorrow and it not a vauxhall ::) Only 10 miles away , needs a bit of bodywork looking at .. just surface rust on the rear arches but other than that its low mileage full service history . Will make a good runabout , got loads of space and no its not a Multipa ::) :D
-
The way you don't mention the make means its.... Japanese... Korean? :)
-
Mercedes W203 C Class would be my guess ::)

Its an MPV , been looking for something that will suit mainly my partner's needs as she really struggles to get in and out of the omega due to her illnesses :( Im keeping the mig under wraps/cover :) Went to look at the car today , full service history , 42000 miles , 1 owner and 12 months mot Mazda Premacy 2.0 GSI immaculate inside and out bought for pennies :)
As said needed something more practical a-b transport/town driving and hospital trips ... suits my needs anyway :y
-
Well, before anyone moans/takes the mick... he's bought a GSi, so nerr!! Not that different from an MV6 or an SRi / VXR :y Think of it as an RX8 estate with a third row of seats :)

Thats it , it serves its purpose for us ;) Cant grumble at the bargain price and car has been very well looked after by a local bloke . It has got every service since new and everything been done by the local garage including cam belt ect .

It does what you want it to, and in all fairness - though it pains me to say it - it does a fair bit more than an Omega can with regard to load lugging etc. Also that's a lovely Christmas pic of your good lady as your avatar. Shows you love her. :y

Yes one of the reasons in getting it also :) Quite a large load capacity with all the seats out , will come in handy for picking up omega spares .. bonnets/doors/engines ::)
She isn't that slim now :D ;D
-
It's a bit of a leftfield choice, but I wouldn't mind footling around in that at all. I quite like it.
-
Is it in the mould of the Zafira GSi? (It looks it, there's clearly an added bodykit to it) a bit lowered, sportier seats, maybe?

Very similar , i had a look at the zaffy and didnt like the interior at all :(

Well, they're both Mazdas ;D But it's a Mazda 6 estate with a high roof and more seats. Nice car
-
haha, yes, I of course wasn't being particularly serious when I said a RX8 estate ;) But assumed it was a stretched floorpan of a 3 or a 6 or similar, much like the Astra/Zafira.
Was you (EMD) looking at the Zafira Mk 1 or 2 when you didn't get on with the interior? Can sympathise with you on the Mk 1, looks like a bit of a rush job, but find the Mk 2 a very clean, nice place to be.

Remember the advertising slogan........'You'll be amazed at a Mazda'
I like it, especially when presented in Vauxhall Star Silver. :y

Ford somehow managed to use the same dyno when they 'measured' the 2.8i V6 at 160hp. Although the 138hp of a late 3.0l is best considered as optimistic.
Alternatively, they just made up a cool number that was vaguely plausible.

I believe that DIN figures were more realistic than the SAE figures.
The yanks used to quote GROSS figures for power and torque.

True, they did. But how does this apply to European figures quoted after the change?
