Three engines offered by Ducato
2.3lt - 130bhp , 2.3lt - 150bhp and a 3.0lt - 175bhp
which do you have, why did you choose it and is it worth the extra for the 150bhp or 175 bhp options..how do they compare in regard to power, and mpg ..
appreciate that the weight and size of the van will affect this, so just a general overview..is the 2.3 adequate for a 3.5t GVW van or is an upgrade to 150 bhp worthwhile or is there an unwelcome mpg penalty .. ?
I don't want a drag racer, happy to cruise at 55 -60 mph but don't want to buy and wish I had gone the extra mile for a bigger engine.
leaving cost to one side.. given the choice... which and why ?
Just for interest there is a comparison chart here
