Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Good value car.
Costs
After a year and half of perfect driving, there was a water and oil leek at the same time. Had to use a new Vectra 1.8 and what a shock it was for fuel. Then the engine managment light came on 3 times same day. Took the car to VX, a clutch switch!?

Driving
Nice car to drive for an oilburner. Handles ok although when wet can understeer.
Performance
Not bad for an oil burner. Turbo is good between 2 and 3000rpm. Top end not there, out of puff fast.

Reliability
Was good up until the comments above. Had 4 Vx's in 9 years and all have this engine managment problem.
