Ive just test drived a 1.6 Vectra that was for £1600 (S reg 16v eco tec, 81 k miles) and a 1.6 Escort for the same price (N reg 16v Zetech 46k miles full Ford service history) and i was so surprised how cr*p the Vectra was. It was so sluggish and slow at pulling away compaired to the Escort needless to say i bought the Escort (sorry to admit it!!!!!) Have i just made a big mistake!!!!!!!!!!

vauxhall usually produce more bhp against fords for the same size engine

note: this wont be correct in every case before someones says cossie = 220 bhp where as cally is 204

i was on a tight budget of £1500, and i can't get any RS2000 for that price, my mate has just bought one for 3k and thats an N reg too, looks identical to my new one, except the obvious!!! couldnt get a XR2i as i got 2 kids and need some boot space along with my subs!!!!
