Ok, been looking around for the last few months at, i guess, family sized diesel cars.... looked at various makes/models and i think i've narrowed it down to these 2.
anyone got any opinions on these? originally wanted a 3 door quick car with a remap but prefering bigger 5 door's these days for practicality and the level of equpiment..
cars taht were on the short list ;
mondeo st tdi 155
vectra sri cdti 150
signum cdti 150  
any others to add?

see i was after a red mk4 anni last year and couldnt get a hold of one... tbh i'm gonna keep this for a good few years so a mk4 would probably look a bit dated by then.
quite like some of the 5's but its hit or miss finding one with a decent spec etc.
meant to say, i'm not buying brand new due to the shafting with depreciation lol...this will be pre-reg upto year or so old

well obviously they both share the same engine so it really comes down to looks, which do you prefer the looks of?

see i quite like the blue but most of them seem to be in that colour... also already had 2 blue cars so kinda dont want another
this is lovely in real life
feeling red or possibly black as the yellow is rare as hell
