  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No problems to date, except, its a wee bit skittish around the B road corners when driving with a heavy right foot, which has suprised me for an sri model, because this was never the case with any of my other vectras.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Has to be its overall size and boot space.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Has to be its cruise control.
