Value
A canny buy - whole life costs at this price make it a better buy than a diesel or more expensive focus.
Costs
trick is to buy under £4k at around 60k miles - depreciation is low

On the road
Driving
quick motorway cruiser for a 1.8. gearbox clunky.

Living with it
Reliability
great so far. have bought two vectras to replace expensive Omegas which always seemed to have something wrong with them.....

Forget it - this is a tool. For this reason don't bother with 2.5 variants - engine too powerful for body and awful handling. This is a repmobile, ok!
Comfort
smooth at 80mph - choppier at slow speeds - but not crashy like many jap cars

Security and Service
Security
deadlocks and immobiliser
Service
Dealers are expensive and poor value - use a specialist instead.
