My old Volvo 440 turbo is quicker but you would have to look at the package you'r getting and have an extended test drive. After a 180 you could find that you wouldn't like less power, the drive/feel is good and my one corners well, but it does rub if pushed round a bend. After all the work he put into it why is he getting rid?? I'm not up with the engines but i've not heard of a HGF on a diesel, do they go?? or was it something he did with the mods?? Best of luck with whatever you decide.
Cheers Peter.

My mind's made up ..... It's not for me. Part of the driving experience for me is using the gears and hearing the engine. The 180 V6 is the only ZS for me. I understand the cost issue / running issues in comparison, but I've never had a "sensible" cost effective car.

Thank you all for your comments.
