just after opinion on these (for sake of ease it's a V plate one in question, so i guess the 'earlier' one before the newer Porsche engine)

thinking of getting one for a runaround as they look alright and pretty cheap for good ones anyway now.

how do they compare vs gti6 power wise and generally?

is it worth getting a newer one with the newer engine or not much difference really?

are they alright trundling along on the motorway like the 6 is in 6th at 60-70mph?

any really common issues or problems to look for with them like i'd imagine on the gti6's worst ones being the timing belt intervals

any advice appreciated whatever you say i'll buy it anyway but just thought i'd get 24hours heads up really

don't worry the gti6 will be staying

One of the best looking mass produced cars ever -quite a lot of kit, and despite being thrown together by french people a reasonable reputation for most of it working!
There is an owners forum which should be useful.

Porsche engine?!

they aren't "lazy" they just have an epic wide band of torque, not much difference between engines really, you may find the later better on fuel is all I can imagine with it being VVT, but it has two more cats strangling it (3 in total on the D9!)

later cars look to be finished better, or at least shinier!


Miles would be a good person to talk to, he has run at least two V6 estates for several years

Great cars,just find one with a belt done as they arent the cheapest or eadiet to replace.Shame Pugzy didnt pay to be a member as he run one for a good few months and also bobdylan55 also has had one

ahhhh, so they just sorted the VVT bit for them, cool

newer ones are FBW and multiplex etc.


EPIC induction noise with a decent filter

I guess this is his?

What is the advantage of it? Surely one of those huge K&N would be enough? It is still going to suffer from heat soak.

Twin induction? It's only one throttle body as standard...?

I really liked my v6 lump. Good torque band and revved out well. Check for oil leaks on cam covers, belts are expensive but last 75k at least.

Not much to look for, Belts are good for 90 and only on the second change you need the tensioners and pump, expensive but engine's are cheap and easy to swap if it ever broke
Suspension bush's, Same type of P bush at the front and the rear Drop link's tend to wear, these control the camber at the back end so when replaced the car must be lined up.
Oil leaks from the cam covers and sump, typical PSA fault here.


Performance, Quicker than a 6 over the 1/4 mile and top speed is around 155ish which is funny in Germany with all the ring piece (Sorry Audi) and BMW drivers wondering what's going on

My first one before I sold it I think had almost 300k on it without any problems at all, My second has just gone over 100k and all OK.

Edit. i think a v would be a 210
