Advantages: Good Looking, Sporty To Drive, Well Presented Disadvantages: High Petrol Consumption and High Road Tax
...I have a 54reg coupe v6 2.7. It is the most amazing car I have ever owned. It looks wonderful on the road and drives like a dream.The car also has auto gear box, with sports mode so yes it is quite heavy on petrol and the road tax is fairly high. The interior is a nice mix of leather and chrome (not brash and cheap) just luxurious. The road holding is superb and it is amazing to drive. when I first bought it I did have to make do with a lot of negative comments like why did you buy that? I thought you were getting a proper car etc etc. Buts that all gone now. I actually sold my car 10 months ago for family reasons but after having a fiesta for this time I saw the car back for sale as the new owners couldn't afford to keep it on the road, and I bought it back.That's how much I like it. I agree the rear end can be solid but you forget...
Advantages: Quick, comfortable, value for money. Disadvantages: Fuel consumption, insurance costs.
...I have owned a v6 Mondeo for over a year now.
I find it comfortable and easy to drive. It’s also fun at the lights when you leave unsuspecting BMW drivers in your wake.
This car is not a sports car but it is fast enough for a bit of fun. This is a heavy car therefore don’t expect too much.
It is also expensive to run in my experience you can expect no more than 34mpg, and when pushed expect that to drop to less than 23mpg. Insurance is also high (group 17) I’m 27 with five years NCB and I pay over £700 per year.
If you can justify the running costs the Mondeo offers excellent value for money, the extras you get on the ghia are outstanding. I have not experienced any major mechanical problems, but have had a few minor electrical problems, nothing to put me off buying this car.
In conclusion do not buy this...

Review of Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6
Advantages: power, comfy cruiser, space Disadvantages: fuel consumption, electrical problems
...you sliding about on the leather.
There are useful cup holder in the dash, and centre arm rest. which has a storage area inside. The door bins are a bit shallow though. If like me you have a CD changer this was cleverly positioned in the glovebox. Leaving room for an envelope only. not good postioning by Vauxhall. Why isn't it in the boot???
Now for the oily bits! This car has a 2.5 Litre 24 valve V6 engine.
This is the smallest V6 offering by Vauxhall. Different years and models had 2.6 and 3.0 Litre V6's.
This is as silky smooth as engines get. It purrs along but given a large dose of right foot it winds up and makes a glorious growl. I have to admit that I've driven through tunnels with the windows down just to hear it!
Now the Vectra is a fairly big car so the V6 pulls it along nicely, It won't defeat Boy racers off...
Advantages: Awesome sound & presence, acceleration, handeling and great fun Disadvantages: Expected V6 fuel economy, price & availability of some parts.
...I've owned my Alfa 155 V6 for around 6 months now and have enjoyed every moment. There is nothing like it on the market especially at the silly prices they go for. It is recommended that you buy one with service history although, mine had none with the car. I bit the bullet and asked a local (non-Alfa/ unless you are minted!) garage to run a full service on the car which cost around £250. It was good to know nothing major was wrong with the car and it adds to the peace of mind when you overtaking an HGV on an A Road at 70 miles an hour, I would imagine :-)
As you would expect out of an old big engined V6 you can kiss goodbye to fuel economy if you drive it like it wants to be driven. However on the plus side, I drove about 150 miles to get the car in my '52 plate focus 1.6 and got better fuel consumption out of the Alfa...

Review of Alfa Romeo 155 V6
Advantages: VW reliability and performance Disadvantages: If you use the performance, fuel comsumption
...She?s black and beautiful and has an Upsolute EMC chip so produces 185BHP with maximum torque at 1750 revs. Well the passat is not a big car but its one of the few into which I can get my 160 Kilos and six foot into!
She is skinned inside in a mixture of black leather an suede with Climate Control, Headlight Washers, Cruise control, ABS, Satellite Navigation, multi CD player and radio, power steering with adjustable steering wheel both up and down and in or out. Electric windows all around and alloy wheels. A dog screen and back cover completes the fittings, so most creature comforts.
The 2.5 litre V6 powerhouse provides performance that I had upped from the standard 150 BHP to 185BHP by using an Upsolute chip set. With a five-speed geartronic box the spec is complete.
What?s it like to drive? Well point and shoot!! The power...
Advantages: More technology and space than a similar LWB S-Class Mercedes @ half the price Disadvantages: People either love them or hate them
...never knew you could have. The leather in mine is light coloured which adds to the spacious look inside the cabin...and at 6'1" even with the driving seat well back for my driving position there is more than enough room behind me for any size of adult. There are also lots of cubbyholes under seats and in doors to store things.
The Initiale model has all the bells and whistles that you would pay thousands for in a BMW or Mercedes (both of which I have owned) and the Sat-Nav is the same as that in a BMW of the same age.
In summary, this is one of the best value-for-money luxury cars you will ever find and if you like the looks you'll love the rest....
Advantages: Refined, Head Turning Potential, Superb Handling Disadvantages: Very Impractical, Thirsty, Expensive to Maintain
...The Clio V6 is a unique driving experience. There's never been a car quite like it before (maybe except the Renault 5 GT Turbo), and I doubt there ever will be again.
Renault took a shopping trolley, chucked out the back seats, and fitted a whopping 230bhp 3 litre engine in it's place, and gave it the sort of outlandish styling that means you see dropping jaws everywhere you go - it's just like having Elvis sat on the roof!
The first time I saw one of these cars (on the cover of Auto Express in 1998) I knew I had to have one. I've owned 2 Escort Cosworths in the past, and this was the only car that finally gave me something to replace them with!
I finally got my hands on one in April 2005. At that time the cheapest Clio V6's were still changing hands for £13k+, but I hunted long and hard and found one lurking in deepest darkest...
Advantages: Fast, loads of space, cheap to buy Disadvantages: Petrol price, expensive if major repair
...Hi Lyndsay has asked me again to do a review so I chose my car.
I have split the review into a sections as buying a car like this could turn out to be a dream or a nightmare, the sections are - Buying, Review and my Conclusion
----------
Buying
----------
I am always looking out for a bargain and believe me I think after you have read this you will agree I landed on a corker, but anyone can if they just are patient, willing to travel and willing to walk away.
Some tips on buying a car privately (these are general to most cars and not just a Ford Mondeo 2.5i V6 ST24)
1. Spend time researching the vehicle- good points, bad points
speak to people such as enthusiasts off internet forum's for
tips and help.
2. I arrange to view a couple of cars on a day so speak to the
sellers on the phone/email/text and obtain as much...

Review of Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6
Advantages: Good quality photos, easy to use. Disadvantages: Small memory card.
...Are you looking for digital camera for home use? To take great family photographs during Christmas, birthdays, family days out and fun time in your garden? You don't know much about photography? You don't want to know any more about it? You don't care about the whole photography things at all? You don't fancy learning about the software staff? Good! But still want to take great pictures? Excellent, I share your feelings, brother.
There is a camera for you. Samsung Digimax V6. Good quality and not complicated, takes excellent photos. I bought it last year for my wife! Guess who the main user is! No surprise, me of course. But my 4 years old daughter have fun with it too, she takes surprisingly good pictures of flowers in our garden. It's fantastic point and shoot camera. The results are always exceptional, colours vivid and crisp...
