On-board service indicator means that the car decides when it needs servicing — which should mean fewer days in the garage; Vauxhall servicing is generally cheap; higher than average emissions outputs mean benefit-in-kind tax liability is will cost more than its rivals. You can eak out a frugal existence with the 1.8 petrol or one of the diesels. Depreciation is concerning – it’s best to buy used.

Vectra performs quite well on the eco front. With an average of 181 g/km CO2 across the range, its emissions are quite low for a medium-sized saloon. However, it’s worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is also fairly economical, averaging 39 mpg.

As a fleet favourite, you’d expect it to be reliable – they wouldn’t buy it in such bulk if it was going to break down lots. The trim may start to look old quickly, though.
