Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 2.0 SRi (140ps) 4d (99) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Lots of extras, including air con and traction control and body trim, but they could have given me electric rear windows, how annoying!
Costs
Ridiculously expensive parts and labour, it is only a Vauxhall! Someone open a German Swedish type rival quick!

On the road
Driving
Brilliant as a motorway cruiser, cumbersome but adequate around town.
Performance
140 bhp ? doesn't feel it unless you thrash it, motorway performance is very good, pull off is rubbish, high revs is quite pokey though! Handling is good for a big car, if you enjoy tear ups at traffic lights buy something else, I'm going to!

Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't given me trouble at all and will probably run forever!
Image
Not really designed to pull, you feel kind of grown up in it or a sales rep!
Comfort
Well you will soon know it has sports suspension, real boneshaker on bumpy roads, interior is good though.

Security and Service
Security
You won't get in unless you climb through the window, deadlocks, alarm and immobiliser.. mines still outside!
Service
Too expensive for service and parts.
