Cosd Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 2.7 or 3.0 diesel. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartward Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I have a 2.7 and love it, but the 3.0 is also great( I have been lent one when mine is being serviced) has better fuel consumption and less co2 so less tax. I don,t think you will be disappointed with either . Be aware parts servicing and tyres not cheap.

discobob Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Gather you aren't looking at new - there are variations depending on age - the big one being (in the 3.0) was the change from a 6 speed auto to 8 speed. I have. 2.2 200 sport with the 8 speed and to be honest I wished it had the 6 speed box as it is always hunting the gear - however I had a loaner 3.0 with the 6 speed box and that drove really well with better selection of the gear. Then there were the changes to a colour screen and a HDD based satnav Then there is the S model which is pretty mental for a diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Are they reliable cars? Not readings have wrong with them reliability wise. What does a servicee cost? Edited October 3, 2015 by Cosd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 My car has been back to the dealers for quite a few things in the 2.5 years from having it - more niggly things with the exception of pads touching the disks from new - and loosing all my parking sensors and camera - and you need them on this car and it is booked in for something weird happening when pulling off. TBH though best get yourself over to jaginfo.org - good bunch of people there and will point you in the right direction There was a nice one with a for sale sign on about the age you were looking for at FD several weeks ago but I don't know who's it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
