Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 2.0 DTi SXi 5d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A used Vectra is a lot of car for the money.
Costs
Average 47mpg. Economy of engine offset by the fact you have to floor it to get any performance.

On the road
Driving
Good on motorways - that's why I bought it. A bit slow and cumbersome round town. Gearbox is notchy when cold.
Performance
Slow acceleration. OK once up to speed and a good cruiser.

Living with it
Reliability
Some of the electric switches work intermittently, same on every Vauxhall I've owned. If you want everything to work all the time go buy a Ford. No major problems though.
Image
I think it looks good, very modern design.
Comfort
Comfortable seats, lots of adjustment available.

Service
Standard impersonal dealer service. Will use an independent once warranty expires.
