Hey guys im stuck deciding,

is it best to get a VZ ute with the VE engine in it ( 190 kw )
or the base model with 175?
I want leather seats and i want fuel economy to be decent.

im pretty sure the VZ 175 is called the alloytec. and the VE one is called HFV6 Euro3.

Im sure some people will say the 190kw one because its faster. but does the base model VZ come with leather seats oris it just a MY06 SV6 thing?

No the base model does not come with leather seats , you might find it hard to find a ute with leather as well , the 190 HFV6 in the VZ was found in the SV6 model the Calais , and Statesman range , mine is the SV6 , in black with full leather . I would look for a low k Calais or a SV6 , if you really must have leather check for wear and tear , despite what some say , the Alloytec is ok , just make sure you service it regularly .
Hope this helps .
