Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 2.5 V6 Sport 5d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Depreciation has made this car a performance bargain, that much around can match this car for performance, practicality and modern comforts.
Costs
To insure, fuel and tax costs a lot, though you wont buy a V6 without already knowing this, I've seen £10 disappear within 45mins. Tyres can wear fast depending on your driving. If the V6 goes wrong your talking big money, otherwise parts are cheap.

Driving
Bad understeer with the TC turned off, doesn't inspire confidence in wet conditions.
Performance
Slight flat spot at low revs, barring that pulls like a train on steroids.

Living with it
Reliability
No complaints as of yet, needs to be looked after though.
Image
Very understated, no one thinks a Vectra is a fast car, badge your V6 as 1.6 and your in for a barrel of laughter at the lights.
Comfort
Easily accommodates 4 adults in comfort.
