Get the MG but with the 4.6 V8 engine in it

IIRC the V8 used is the same as used in Mustangs........

got a couple of the v6 diesel vectra's on trial at work, they're not really suited to what we use them for but they do go well for a diesel (remap would free them up a bit!), the MG's are a bit shocking tbh (never driven the V8 one though!!)

The 1.9 CDTI vectra's are ok but the engine struggles to tow the car along a bit

Doubt you will get a decent 1.9 CDTI for 7k and it probably would'nt be the facelift one either.

Munchie, would you be willing/able to extend your budget to 10-15k, and your capacity limit to 4.6 litres?

You would need back tyres every few thousand miles though, and steer clear of the M4

Signum has a better image than Vectra imo anyway, especially for someone younger - I saw a V6 Turbo one in Luton that must shift. Wasn't a dodgy Halford's 'turbo' badge either, proper Vauxhall one!

EDIT: Just checked the Vauxhall website - it would have only been a dirty diesel quite quick to 60mph though, 8.5secs or something.
