Quick question do the motorforce mats have the holes in them so that you can secure them to the floor.
dont like it when the mat ends up halfway up the footwell!!!

Chris,
I'm sure depreciation is awful. Just the same for any vauxhall then. Most new cars suffer dreadfully but big engined non prestige badged cars suffer the worst. Mind you the pervious seven series was one of the worst.
Fuel bills. What did the expect? A 6 litre American designed engine is always going to give the wrong side of 20mpg
Build quality, well if it was really well built it woiuld either cost a lot more or be real competition for the likes of the M3.
I just really liked the sound of the engine and the way it looks. Also the prospect of a relatively affordable V8 RWD car is very appealing
Oh and massive depreciation meand bargains for second hand buyers!

Those talking about the Monaro should try visiting a few Vauxhall forums.
You'll be VERY hard pushed to find anyone who keeps one more than 6 months.
1. Depreciation - is one of the most staggering of any car today. A new Monaro from February of this year, going out at £36k.....they're being offered £24k in PX.
2. Fuel bills - are astronomical.
3. Reliability and build - it's simply not good.
As I say, have a chat to a few of them and you'll find that TG's enthusiasm for the car isn't shared by most that bought them.

I've got a set of Motorforce mats in the E30 and they are great. The fit and quality are exceptional.
I've got a set of Momo mats in the E36. They are dire.

That's a shame since the Monaro is the best car they have ever made.
The badges wouldn't bother me. Who cares what other people think. Performance is everything, image is nothing  |
They told you on Topgear just after they showed you the test of the 6 litre VXR.Reason why it's sooooo good is because Vauxhall had nothing to do with it.Built by Holden and imported here.Pretty much sure all Vauxhall do is put badges on it.Could still buy one through personal import.

The VX220 will make a great second hand buy for a 'toy', but for the money.... Monaro - M3(used) - Monaro - M3(used) - Monaro - M3 (used).... I think i know which way I would go.......

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavours last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Yes, i'm waiting to have a go in one of those! The VXR version is only £37k new!!!!! The VX220 is the only other Vauxhall, but you would still need a BMW for daily use!

The only vauxhall I would consider is the Monaro. They had one at croft when the touring cars were there and it sounded amazing even when just plodding round the track. TBH it was tailing a new M5 and you couldn't here the BM for the deep chested rumble of the 6 litre V8. The first Vauxhall I have ever truely desired.

Motorforce are in South Shields if you fancy the drive down and see what they've got.If memory serves they advertise in the club mag too.
BTW tell you Father in law you'll buy a Vauxhall when you loose your marbles

So motorforce on eBay is the way forward. Thank you all. I should have asked the question before I stumped up the money though. However, I am geeting a full valet on the car today. Carpets cleaned, engine steam clean, etc. etc. All in preperation for Gaydon. And how much is this costing me? NOTHING!!! Now that's the sort of price we can all live with!
Which dealer do you think is doing this? That's right, a Vauxhall dealer!!! Although, it is cheating as it belongs to my father in law who is still trying to get me out of the Beemer and into a Vauxhall! Still, free is free!

Talking about BMW not giving anything away, and being ripped off and all that, my mate bought a BMW 1 series when they first came out and they wouldn't even throw in a key ring to put the new style ignition fob on!! They wanted the £5 going rate, regardless of him paying £18,000 cash, now that is stingy!!!
