Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a previous Vecta Diesel and was very pleased with it. I was after an auto so this was perfect

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very very nice to drive, the 2.2 DTI engine, although a little noisy from the outside has amazing acceleration considering its attached to an auto box. The economy is superb as well. Fill the tank to the top, set the cruise to 70mph and within about 20 mins the range computer shows around 650 miles..and that is accurate as well which i found out after a recent drive to Scotland.

What's it like to park?

Its much bigger than the previous Vectra and this is most noticed when parking. I think newer models have reverse parking sensors, which are a must on a car this size. The steering is very light and the wing mirrors are a vast improvement on the old model

Have you had any problems with the car?

Snapped offside front coil spring, repaired under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot with split folding rear seats so you can carry loads of stuff if needed. Its sits 5 adults comfortable as well.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the diesel/auto combination, and the aircon is superb
