Vectra 3.2 GSI

[TANNER]

Quite quick these aren't they?!
Was overtaken by one on a dual carriageway today, my stock Gti wouldn't have kept up if I had tried! Anyone else played with one of these?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Good god no.. Fat, heavy, underpowered barge.. Get your GTI checked out if it was leaving you behind mate.. Either that or it wasn't in anyway stock..

208 bhp
0-60 7 secs
 Dull as ditch water to drive apparently and you'll look like unmarked police.
And it's fugly also

Once they are rolling they aren't too bad 

I had one for about 3 months that tried to kill me on a regular basis by cutting the engine and all electronics randomly when turning right 

[jhtrophy]

Must have taken you a while to get anywhere only turning left  I had one on loan when my Cupra r went missing, can't imagine it keeping up with a gti unless you left handbrake on, there is a VXR one I think, maybe it was one of them?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Vectra VXR wasn't available in that hideous shape and is a total different kettle of fish.. Blown 2.8 vs a N/A 3.2 and about 80bhp between them..

The only similarities they share are the griffin badge and the fact they both handle like an elephant on rollerblades..

[TANNER]

No it was just a 53 plate, hpi'd the plate out of curiosity and just says 3.2 GSI.  We were rolling but it definitely had the legs on me.
Think I need a check on the rollers then just to save face!

I remember test driving one. Horrific gearing and a bit of a gutless engine meant progress was difficult at best.

Far happier with the ST200 Mondeo I eventually bought.

Now that was a great car!! probably my favourite of all the cars i've owned, plus it would run rings around the vauxhall spag.  

I hope ford bring out another Mondeo ST.  I've had every model of Mondeo ST to date    That is a sad statistic for a 28 year old

Id be very surprised if a std GTI could spank a 3.2 GSI all over the shop

  Cracking car I had mine for 6 years, loved that v6 grumble

[Hedge]

I had 4 V6 Mondeo's over the years. 2x V6 Ghia one with RS 5 spoke wheels and Eibach springs. A Ghia X and the ST200 which I did over 70k and had for 4 years.

Wish I'd done a bit more to it really. Exhaust would have sounded nice as they were a bit refined.

Mk1 St24, Mk2 St24, Mk3 ST TDCI then Mk2 ST220,  oh and my grandad gave me his Scorpio Cosworth  

thats ontop of my XR2i, , XR3i, and Focus ST, and the various other run of the mill fords I've had

I will 100% be buying a Mondeo ST if its released in the near future, especially now that it would almost certainly be turbo charged.

Love fords

My neighbour had 2 mondeo st, but ran a fiesta daily to "not spoil the mondeos"
