I loved the look of the vectra and wanted a big engine and all the luxury features.

Lovely smooth drive, brakes never worked right well, engine was quick and responsive. Gearbox was flimsy, comfort was outstanding, gadgets were amazing!

What's it like to park?

Easy to park!

Where do I begin! Had the car a year and spent £2500 trying to fix all its issues. Wiring was always problematic, gearbox went, brakes were never right!

Loads of space for kids and all their stuff.
