Guest cmmolloy1 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 As it says in the title - the time is nigh for me to stump up some dosh and get a galaxy in readynes for me trip to Germany to watch England win... Buying a diesel and wondered is the 130 that much better than the 115. I want an auto anyway so drag strip performance int what I'm after.Ideas anyone? C Quote
Masked Marauder Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 If you want an auto then I think you will have to have the 115. I don't think the 130 is available as an auto, but I could be wrong. They both have the same amount of torque btw, the BHP just changes the rev range it is available over. Quote
gazzer666 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, I think the auto only comes in the 115 flavour anyway. The 130 and 150 manuals are certainly spritely though. Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 if u want auto, u can only have the 115 :unsure: MATT Quote
johnb80 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Definately 115 if auto is a requirement, if I remember correctly hasn't there been some posts re smoother running of 115 ? Regards - JB Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 dunno - but i find the 115 has enough power to get about. would like something more powerful tho, i would have a V6, but the costs are very off putting. MATT Quote
johnb80 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I find the 115 more than enough, my previous cars have all be 6 pot'rs Cosworth Ultima Estate and 24v Senator. Both had incredible power, the Cosworth at times literally took your breath away. I have to say in all honesty I don't really miss the brute power nor the frequent visits to the petrol pump. I do miss the lovely sound 6 cylinders make especially the Senator being a straight 6. Come to think of it my 4.2 Range Rover was rather nice too. :) Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 one is feeling somewhat depressed now :) MATT Quote
