Its a rep wagon, what would you expect?

Got to keep it above 4,500rpm to get the best from the engine, however you will use a lot of petrol driving like this.

It's a Vectra, what do you think?
Comfort
OK if you get the lumbar support on the drivers seat right. Who cares if the passengers are comfortable?

Security and Service
Security
Alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks are all sound.
Service
Main dealers are a bunch of money grabbing bastards, however I did get excellent service. I guess you get what you pay for.
