I actually sat in the Mondeo and loved how silent the ride was... over the Passat and the 508.
The 208/300 numbers are really hard to beat when you're comparing against 1xx/2xx of the other two. My personal preference as a driver would be the Mondeo, but looks wise the 508 would have much more of an impact. |

QUOTE(kadajawi @ Jan 27 2012, 06:36 PM) 208/300? Huh? 200 BHP Power / 300 Nm Torque for the Mondeo vs 156 / 240 for the Pug 508 vs 162 / 250 for the PassatQUOTE(Bliz @ Jan 27 2012, 06:52 PM) NVH of passat is already very good, the mondeo is even better? Yeap that's my personal opinion of course. This post has been edited by darthbaboon: Jan 27 2012, 08:24 PM |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jan 30 2012, 02:04 PM) Not very correct. Ure getting the HP and PS confused a bit. The HP and torque for the 3 models are: Mondeo (200/300), Peugeot (156/240) and Passat 1.8TSI (158/250). Passat is listed as 160 PS... that's 162 BHP or 118 kW. Please recheck your conversions... anyhow 2 or 4 BHP isn't gonna make much difference in the big picture... it's nitpicking.  |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jan 31 2012, 07:41 AM) Friend, 160PS = 158HP. PS is a bigger unit than HP. 162HP is 120.8kW not 118kW. Its not about making a difference. Its about representing accurate facts. Btw... HP /= BHP. |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Jan 31 2012, 08:17 AM) Some interesting specs bout the upcoming Toyota Camry. 1465kg kerb weight, 146Hp and 190Nm torque. Pretty pathetic figures for a new generation Camry. Even the new Optima churns out 163Hp and 198Nm torque. 2.0 version? Would this be on a new engine slapping a new shell onto old everything else?The figures are dismal if true.  |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Feb 8 2012, 08:53 AM) Ill only make my final decision in April. So till then anything is possible. But yes, the Optima is the front runner now. Waiting for 2012 batch CBU cars to arrive? What sold you on the K5?This post has been edited by darthbaboon: Feb 8 2012, 09:28 AM |
