Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Depreciation huge! Buy a V6 new and loose £12,000 in six months!
Costs
Insurance/parts/servicing expensive, fuel consumption heavy.
-
On the road
Driving
Very accomplished for a big car.
Performance
Old Senator 24v will leave it standing - gutless ECOTEC V6 a retrograde step.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Good, but eats parts - exhaust, shocks, tyres, headlight bulbs.
Image
Vauxhall specialise in building dull cars - old Senator had a better image.
Comfort
Very comfortable over long distances.
-
Security and Service
Security
Key security's very good - dead locks not so good.
Service
Dealers do their best - parts and labour rates are a rip off for what is a simple mass produced car.
