1.8 or 2.0?

Recommended Posts

My G60 has let me down yet again :cry: When it is going it is superb and I want to continue driving a corrado for the ride and handling. Thinking about reliability I am considering either a 1.8 16v or 2.0 16v. Is there much between them? Would love a VR6 but cant really justify the running costs.

Despite being a 1.8 owner I'd go for the 2.0 given my time again. There's no out and out performance advantage/disadvantage from what I can tell but the 2.0 I used for a few weeks was a lot easier to get on with and did more to the gallon.

Plus you have the late body / dash with the 2.0 - providing you buy later than K plate as I've seen a few of these with the early dash! 8)

Changing cars will cost as much as sorting the G60, surely.

 

What's up with it?

Just one thing after another, cost me £2300 to buy and have spent that again

in less than a year. On the road and running well for about 8 weeks total in the last six months. Water pump, front disc exploded, supercharger leaking, clutch disintigrated, gear selection problems - no reverse, lamda related problems, wouldn't idle, wouldn't pull skin off rice pudding, crankshaft pulley worked loose(?)Got it back a week ago and the head gasket blew yesterday. Just lost confidence! Its GREEN. Jinxed?

Sorry to hear about the run of bad luck. You won't get nowt for it with a duff head gasket though (who has diagnosed it?).
