Vauxhall Vectra Hatchback 2.5 V6 SRi 5d (96) (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quite cheap for the amount of car you get. I did pay a bit more than the Parker's book price, but I think I got value for money.
Costs
Seems good so far. I'm getting 32 MPG round town and 37 on longer journies. I'm impressed and that's with me not hanging about.

On the road
Driving
Seems ok. I've only had it a month. The nose is a bit steep - bit tricky when parking against walls,
Performance
I'm giving it full marks. I dropped it from 5th to 3rd and I couldn't believe the power.

Living with it
Reliability
So so on this one. The boot rattled slightly when I got it. The dealer said it was fixed, but it's now worse than ever. I think it's the boot lock/catch.
Image
Seems ok in black & SRi form.
Comfort
Comfortable enough. Maybe not a lot of room for people in the back if there's tall people in the front.
