[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 199024, member: 84"] Geoff dude, Let's compare an apple to an apple, shall we ? I had a Waja 1.8 for almost 2 years and believe me when I say that the Renault F4P engine nothing to shout about. Sure, it has more electronics and techo-gadgets onboard with drive-by-wire and etc but it's not even in the same class as the M50 straight-six for very obvious reasons. It loses flat out in power, torque, capacity on paper and I dare say even driveability/tractability in real life situations. VANOS or otherwise is not the deciding factor - please get your facts in order before shooting off claims as above. And yes, there are many reasons for not buying a UDM at the end of the day if you ask me - depreciation la, an arm and leg cost for running cost & upkeep la, high fuel consumption and what nots! Bottom line is, get one, live with it and understand why some of us here still swear by our 10-15 year ol junks todate. Otherwise, take the safe way home and settle for a Japanese, Korean or Malaysian saloon for comfort. No offence! Regards, VaN. [/QUOTE]
