Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 1.8 LS (125ps) 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought from Network Q at 8 months old and was cheap motoring with a fair warranty and a good bit of Vauxhall's 3 year warranty left.
Costs
40 to the gallon is easily obtained but a couple of minor faults such as dashboard. Light bulbs at a cost of £50.00 to repair (not covered by warranty) are annoying rather than halting your journey.

Driving
Good cruiser on the motorway and good enough elsewhere. No sports car but it doesn`t claim to be either!
Performance
Plenty of power from a 1.8 and better than other vehicles of this size.

Living with it
Reliability
Has never broken down but has had a number of annoying faults including many electrical gremlins involving bulbs going all over the car.

Comfort
Plenty of room for a 6'3" driver and two large teenagers in the back. The overall ride is comfy.
