Alfa, cant beat the sound of a italian V6! Brother (TNM on here) has had his for about a year now, only problems have been raditator and water pump (the pump is a common problem). Although he did have the coolant cap which has a valve on it seize but that was no biggy. And the car hadnt been serviced for about 50,000 miles!

Thats cool cause I was a bit unsure about the Alfa build quality and reliability. Something else to thing about now then.

I had a Calibra V6, that car drank petrol like there was no tomorrow! I really want a Vectra V6 Estate, I hope they are not the same (Calibra had C25XE, am wondering if X25XEs are better on fuel etc.)?

Do you ever think before you post?

Is a V6 clio in the same price range as a V6 vectra?

Alfa as long as you keep on top of the maintence.

Vectras are awfull cars regardless of the engine.

get an Omega instead if you are insistant on a Vauxhall at least thats RWD and could be fun in the wet
