Vauxhall Vectra Estate (05-08) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 02 Apr 2008 3.5 There's more to the load-carrying version of the Vectra than just a differently-shaped tail end. It has a longer wheelbase than the saloon and hatchback versions and a significantly longer overall length, helping to make it the most capacious car in its class.

It has a longer wheelbase than the saloon and hatchback versions and a significantly longer overall length, helping to make it the most capacious car in its class. This builds upon the Vectra's existing virtues of impressive motorway manners, solid build and extensive choice of decent engines to make a reasonably compelling case. Prices are very competitive to begin with, and Vauxhall's range of offers along with the dealers doubtless willingness to negotiate should mean an even better deal in the showroom.

Only an E Class Merc is marginally better ..... at 2 or 3 times the price. The extended wheelbase also makes it fantastically roomy for rear seat passengers. ” 5 out of 5 Anonymous , 22 Mar 2013 ... read more See all Owners' Reviews Read the full facts and figures about this car Compare this car to other cars Next steps Get your Vauxhall Vectra Estate (05-08) information pack for only £1.99View 47 used Vauxhall Vectra Estates for sale Get an Insurance QuoteRead 10 owners' reviews Tweet Other Vauxhall reviews Continue to: Driving & Performance
