    I've got the latest brochure with all the values.

    It has the 4 door saloon 1.8TDCi 6 speed manual at 154g/km,
    5 door estate 1.8TDCi 6sp manual is 156 and
    5 door estate 2.0TDCi 6sp manual is also 156.
    • Is there a reason why the saloon 1.8TDCi is less than the estate?
    • Why would anyone buy a 1.8TDCi estate over the 2.0TDCi if both cars fall into category D for VRT & Tax?

    The Estate would be heavier on Co2 due to being heavier and having poorer aerodynamics.

    The 1.8 V 2.0 is a dilemma, the 1.8 is an older 8V engine, the 2.0 is the more modern 16v which has more power, but seems to be notably less economical the the 1.8.

    The 2.0Tdci Zetec Estate was cheaper than the 1.8 version before they switched the 1.8Zetec spec to ECOnetic.

    The MTP guide is showing the 1.8 6Speed at 154g (20% VRT) and the 2.0 6 Speed at 156g (24% VRT) now.

    This value is true for the saloon 1.8 but its 2g more for the estate according to the brochure

    The estate model only comes as in LX 100ps (151) or ECOnetic (142) with the 1.8Tdci engine now - both these are 5 speed.

    The price list I got for the dealer has the estate in the following versions

    LX 1.8TDCi, 5sp (151g)
    ZETEC 1.8TDCi, 6sp, 125bhp (156g)
    ZETEC 1.8TDCi, 5sp, 125bhp (142g) (must be the ECOnetic you mention

    Also avail in Titanium S but only in 2.2TD 6sp (165g/km)

    From February production specifications changed slightly to the MY2009.5 specs.

    LX has now become Style across all bodystyles.
    Apparently a USB port is standard
    Front & rear parking sensors are now standard. Not sure if this applies to Style, but deffo on higher specs

    It may be possible to order a Zetec 1.8Tdci Estate, but you might as well go for the ECOnetic and spend €500 on Alloys - will work out a lot cheaper. Apart from the 5 speed box and 60 litre fuel tank (70 on non ECOnetics) the specifications are the same.
