A 4 year old Audi A4 1.9tdi quattro is infinately better to drive than a brand new Vauxhall signum elite!!!!!.

Have been driving the boss's signum most the week.. what a cheap and tacky car it is!.. quite comfortable..

Then met up today to swap for this audi... and im much happier

even with 93k on the clock its tighter, less rattly and much better to drive.

real quattro is mucho fun on roundabouts... rekon a remapped one would be a blast

Anyone else got any experience of a Signum? Just seems I can get a 2.2 DTI on an 04 for a straight swap for the Corsa.

I should think even my Dad's old P plate Audi A4 would be better than a new Signum....

Not sure if there are any web-sites out there that give official figures, but I suspect the Signum has got to be one of the biggest depreciating cars on the market today, based on some of the 2nd hand prices I have seen.

Never driven one though, but perhaps Col's brief review explains why.

I guess they are a 2nd hand bargain if they float your boat!

Its the new Omega.

Have been 'alllll the way' in the back of a signum in Portugal. 2.0 Turbo, Which had been remapped, 4 People in the car, and bloody hell it was fast.... :eek:

No experience of the Signum, but both the Citroen Xantia and the Octy mk1 are way better cars than the V*ctr@!

Speak to PhilC, he has a 3.0l DTI Signum

Someone mention my name?

Yes, they do depreciate fast. Mine was 27K new, and I got it at 8 months old for 15K.

It really depends what you like. The 3.0 Cdti engine gives it the same performance as my old L&K octy, but it will do 45 mpg on a run. It's comfortable for me and the passengers, and has lots of toys.

The 2.2 DTi is quite an old engine -the 1.9 is better. Give it a try and see what you think.

Your L&K a petrol then? Asking cos I'd be far from impressed with a 3.0l diesel engine that did 10mpg less than a 2.0l, and couldn't outrun the smaller unit.
