Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 2.5 V6 CDX 5d (LT) (96) (1996/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great Value. Mine had full leather, cruise, nice engine, full electrics climate control. Half the price of a BMW
Costs
Eats petrol in town but pretty good on the open road. Get used to hearing "its a V6" and getting the wallet out!
-
On the road
Driving
Clunky steering and a notchy gearbox, but sticks to the road ok.
Performance
Keeps up with so called fast cars like many BMWs and Audi TTs. Blows most boy racers away! 5/ 5 on the motorway, but some obvious flat spots in the acceleration.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Too many things have gone wrong! Spent a lot of money on it!
Image
Mine had a GSI body kit in red so it was unique and looked great, but hey it's still a Vectra!
Comfort
Great comfort with nice leather interior.
-
Security and Service
Security
Dead locks mean it hasn't been nicked yet.
Service
They don't care. Go to a garage where they actually want your business and listen to what you say. (And charge you half as much)
-
