Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 1.8 Club 5d (2005/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Brought one just under 8 months old for £8000 and only 11,000 miles (so it's barely run in) from a Vauxhall Dealer. Not all the modern equipment but still more than enough.
Costs
Rated 4 on the basis of a big car with a petrol engine! Not as frugal as a diesel but I still get well in excess of 40mpg on longer journeys.

On the road
Driving
A good drive. All the controls are easy to find and operate. Loves motorways and just laps up the miles. One touch indicators etc take a few days to get used to.
Performance
Was a little worried at first, due to a relatively small engine, however I have been pleasantly surprised. If you use the gears well you can pull away at a fair pace. Good top gear means low revs whilst cruising on the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far but only rated a 3 as I have only had it for a few months.
Image
Not exactly a sexy car but I think it looks great and prefer the styling to it's competitors such as the mondeo. I have a silver one and with the alloy wheels (standard on the Club) it looks great.
Comfort
A comfortable car. Height, tilt, lumbar and position adjustment on drivers seat along with a height and rake adjustable steering wheel. Back seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of leg room. Very big boot.

Security and Service
Security
Seems very secure. Deadlocks, alarm and immobiliser as standard.
