Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car tells me that I'm a practical & professional person. It doesn't show me as any type of petrol head, which is what I want. It definately turns heads and I'm neat with my work.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Very envious & jealous. Even upper classes are very impressed.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definately. It makes the correct impression and looks after me very well. Insurance cost is very cheap. Its even cheaper than my AX!! I'm only in my twenties too.
What are you likely to buy next?
Either another Vectra, an Audi A6 or a BMW 5 Series.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A godsend from my Citroen AX for space & image. I've found this car to be a better drive than a Ford Mondeo I was trying out when I was looking round. I'm getting around the 50 mpg mark.
What's it like to park?
Excellent. Wierd enough, its excellent to park & can manover very well too. Its a Massive car & I can park it superbly.

What's most practical about your car?
You can carry a lot more than you think. A marquee looks like a small sandwich in the tomb-sized Vectra!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control. Very safe to use.
